LEW FIELDS.

| Lew Fields, probably the most sue
 cessful low comedian now before the American public, is booked for an engagement in this city at Polls on Wednesday evening in his latest of fering, the musical comedy, "The Girl Behind the Counter" which he re- gently purchased in conjunction with
 the Messrs Shubert after it's run of a year at the Wyndham theater, Lon don, and which has been thoroughly Americanized by Edgar Smith, and stage managed by Julian Mitchell. MT Fields@has been playing in this comedy for the past three weeks in Philadelphia, and from here he takes it direct to his Herald Square theater,
 New York, for the seasons run. Therefore "The Girl Behind the Counter" with it's cast of one hun dred players, cannot be said to be in it's experimental stages, but it can truthfully be said that it has all the virtues of newness of costumes and scenery, which are the most elaborate ever devised for MT Fields and the Shuberts. The comedy is laid in two acts, the first scene being the interior of an American department store in London and the second at summer garden at Hammersmith. MT Fields plays the role of a German who in herits large fortune, and who is compelled to disguise himself as a de- tectiye and floor walker. It is said to be a character admirably suited to his unique comedy methods. Miss Connie Ediss, who was brought to this country for this production from the Gaiety theater, London, where she was the leading comedienne, plays the part of Fields socially ambitious wife, while the others among the principals, are congenially cast. These principals include Louise Dres- ser, Lotta Faust, May Naudain, ,Topsy Siogrist, Edith Ethel MacBrice, Ig- nacio Martinetti, George Beban, Jo- seph# Ratliff, Denman Maley, Vernon Castle, the original English Pony ballet, and three score other pretty singing and dancing girls There are twenty musical numbers in the play, and a number of novel scenic effects and new dances. Prices $2, $1.50
 $1, 75c and gallery 50 cents. Seats on sale Monday, Sept. 23. No free list, H Carriages at 11:1O.

INVENTs A HUMANE BULLET.
Frenchman Devises d P~rojectile Of
Paper and Aluminium.

A French officer has invented a new
~projectile for firearms which is said
TO wound and kill as the usual bullets
but does not present the ravaging &C
ton of the present projectiles of re-
peating rifles. This new missile is
not of metal but Of paper surrounded
by a thin shell of aluminium.
According to the inventor, the paper
bullet, fired at the same distance, un-
der the same circumstances and with
the same precision as the ordinary
bullet, produces a thoroughly smooth
wound. The number of disabled sol
diers will be no less if the p~rojectile
of the future were to be the paper bull,
let, but the number of dead and fatal
ly wounded would be considerably de.
creased, as the shot fired with a steel
~projectile tends TO produce blood pois-
oning, while the paper bullet is said to
only bring on a durable injury.
The inventor has sent his bullets
for approval to all the governments
belonging To the convention of Geneva
and the Austrian war office has or
dered trials to be made of the inven.
ton.

The Selfish Reason,

Bernard X. Green, the we'll known
consulting engineer of Washington,
said the other day, in discussion of the
new Pennsylvania capitol, which he
helped to build:
The trouble with every question is
that ~self-seeking enters into it. Were
there no ~self-seekers, the world would
be a very Utopia. But as it is"
He smiled.

FIRST WORD A KNOCK.
King Thought Sermon Had a Personal
Application.

James ]. of England and VI. of Scot
land was, as every one knows, deficient
in vigor and steadiness. Having heard
a famous preacher who was very witty
in his sermons and peculiarly SO in his
choice of texts, he ordered this clergy
man to preach before him. With all
suitable gravity the learned divine
gave out his text in the following
words: James, first and sixth, in the
latter part of the verse. He that
wavereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed

Washington, Jan. Is. - The legal
phase Of President Roosevelt's dis
charge of the negro troops was again
injected into the controversy in the
senate yesterday by notice of an
amendment to the Foraker compro-
mise resolution, which Senator Black
burn said he would press. Senator
Foraker, who concluded his argument,
at once declared his opposition to the
amendment. He discussed the power
of the executive, holding that the al
fray at Brownsville ought to be investi.
gated simply as to the facts, and the
question of power determined later II
it should arise as the result Of the In
curry. He reviewed his previous ut
terances, maintaining the same posi-
ton in every respect. He replied to
arguments which have been made
since his first speeches.
The house resumed consideration OF
the District OF Columbia appropriation
bill. During the day an emergency bill
was passed for the relief of the suffer
ers from the earthquake In Jamaica.

Senator Tillman uncorked the phials

President Roosevelt and a dissertat-

brief time to pass the legislative, ex-

rying nearly SOL, 000, 900, the senate de-
voted the remainder of the day to the
Brownsville ARRAY.
President Roosevelt's message was
read and ordered printed.
Senator Mallory Endorsed the action
of the president. When Senator Clay,
who followed, took the floor, the de-
bate was given a lively turn by Till
mans interruptions. Mr.. Clay said the
people of Georgia heartily Endorsed
the presidents action. Senator Bacon
followed with what he said was report
ed as the precedent for the Browns
Vile error in the discharge of a com
pany of South Carolina national
guardsmen by Senator 'Tillman when
he was governor. This involved Sena-
tor Tillman again.
Senator Spooner was in the midst
of a constitutional discussion of the
authority of the president in the case
when adjournment was taken.
The house spent most of the day
considering legislation pertaining to
the District of Columbia
