BACK FROM LONG TRIP
LOCAL CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS
RETURN FROM SEATTLE.

The local party which attended the Chris
tan Endeavor convention at Seattle, WASH
ington, returned to this city yesterday after
noon. all the members being In the best of
health and thoroughly pleased with the
outing.
On arriving at Colorado Springs last
Thursday evening carriages met the party
and a drive to the Garden of the Gods was
taken Within the gartien the imaginations
Of all were kept busy In discovering resem-
blances to figures Of men and women,
beasts and birds. in the strange mimetic
forms which the rocks assumed. After sup
per the Westinghouse retired early in an
ticipation of ascending Pixies Peak to view
the sunrise. All were awakened at 1 o clock
a m, and the start for the top was made at
$50 O'Clock on the cog-wheel railroad The
ascent was not as interesting as the return,
for 1t was too dark to see much, but at the
summit the breaking of day, with the east
first streaked with gray, which gradually
changed into rosy tints of dawn, and then
burst into splendor as the sun occasionally
broke through the clouds, was sight to
be remembered by the folks from the ma
tional capital. On the descent views of the
world below were had through vistas in the
trees, and from Windy Point a distinct view
of Manitou, Colorado City and Colorado
Springs was obtained. Return to the train
was made about o'clock.
After breakfast the Washington party
went on one OF the most delightful side
trips of the tour. 1t was to Cripple Creek
the rich mining region for gold and silver
and noted for its scenery. The ride was
Tor forty-hve miles. and from beginning to
the end it was one continuous panorama of
natures most gorgeous mountain and canon
scenery.
At Cripple Greek electric cars were board
ed and a circuit was made Of all the min
ing region. In the evening the Special
was attached to regular train and the
start made for Denver with the expecta-
ton of reaching Chicago Sunday morning
at O'Clock and arriving home Monday
morning between and 10 O'Clock.
The Washington party reached Salt Lake
city last Wednesday morning after an I'M
usually pleasant trip through the Yellow
stone National Park
Owing to an error on the part Of the rail-
road company in not notifying the trans
portatlon company the Washington delega-
ton had one extra day in the YELLOWSTONE
Park. thus making the party one day late
in arriving home.
Many visited Salt Air and bathed in the
waters of the Great Salt Lake, where 1t is
impossible to sink. Much fun was OBJ
tanned in floating in the water. sometimes in
sitting posture. sometimes lying fiat, and
again standing up in the water in depths
which would drown one anywhere else.
Snapshots were made of the party.

THE TIL EAT E R.
New National,

Whoever has seen and heard Dolly Var

week Is certainly not to be missed. Not
withstanding little uncertainty last even

so large an undertaking, when lines We're
variously prompted and the music some
times wavered. the production a whole
was one of the most pleasing offerings Of
the summer.

accepted order of light opera.
Grace Orr Myers returned to the company
and made a most charming Dolly. her
piquancy, fresh voice and simplicity lend
Ing to the part a grace which made the role
| a distinct delight. Her Jay Bird song was
a treat.
Lord Gayspark, as presented by Charles
P. Swickard. a newcomer, afforded most Of
the comedy, and Captain Horace Har-
Blake, was pleasing. Little sabery D'Orsell
made pOuting souSrettish London belle.
and sang the Letitia Fairfax role with a
fullness OF tone which Is O constant sur
prise and pleasure.
Huntington May was in fine voice and
had in the part Of Jack Fairfax an oppor-
tunity to give his resonant depths of tone
free play. His Lovers Lane and Sword
Song made a new impression Of his
powers.
But the main pleasure Of the evening
rested on the broad shoulders Of Waller
stedt, who also, by the way. cemented and
held together the loose threads and parts
Of the whole opera. AS Capt. Beleville he
gave an Interpretation of the graceful, i'm
petuous, joyous, soldier-lover which every
girl ought to see as a part Of her educa-
ton. His voice and presence are good, and
his enjoyment of the kisses he gives the
irrepressible Dolly is no way artificial. His
merriment is infectious.

alter and opera company management. The
boys will occupy reserved seats in the gal

tend. Next week Vincent Wallace's Mari
tana' will be presented.

The Belasco.

In spite of the weather a full house wit
messed the performance of Lady Winder-
mere's Fan at the Belasco last night. AS
presented by Charlotte Walker and her
company Oscar Wilde's witty comedy takes
high rank among the many successes to
the credit Of this house during the present
summer season. The play is of type
made famous by its brilliant author. Well
constructed and logical in its situations
though only in a measure dramatic, Its
strength is in its dialogic interest and Its
epigrammatic quality. In fact, except WHERE
the direct thread Of the story is the subject
the dialogue IS a mildly cynical fire of we'll
bred aphorsms and sparkling repartee. Miss
Walker, as Lady Windermere. realized the
character in every way. The transitions
from loving trustfulness and confidence to
bands faithfulness and her final abandon
ment to the sweeping current of events
which threatens to overwhe1m her are por
trayed with painstaking Inconsistencies
which shows careful application to the au-
thor's idea of the character.
Alice Butler as Mrs. Erynne. the shallow
and scheming mother bore her full share
Of the burden Of the production. and is
very thankiess role.
Rosetta Brce. who has been considered
heretofore. as an ingenue: surprised her
Plimdale, the sprightly and wee bit naughty
young matron with keen relish for scan
dial and the attention of interesting men.
Sydney Mather, as Lord Windermere. was
in every way acceptable and gave por
tray~l dignihed and at all times consistent
and we'll within the prophecies. Guy
Coombs. as Lord Darlington. and Alfred
Hudson. jr., as Lord Augustus, made the
most of their respective roles, and to-
gether with Samuel Klawans as Cecil Ora

the Duchess Of Berwick, and Fannie Harz.
as Lady Agatha. her daughter. who by
her girlish way, backed by mammals wtles,

an eligible from Australia, were characters
true to their kind.

Bathed With Beer.

Mamie Hammond was bathed with beer
early yesterday morning, the ceremony
being conducted by Robert Shorter colored.
The latter, however, did not follow the usual
methods. He stood several feet away from
the girl and threw a bottle of beer at her
head. The bottle broke and the liquid
flowed over her Uranium. Mamie was so
badly injured by the act that she required
treatment at the Casualty Hospital. The
trouble Is said to have started through
jealousy, Shorter finding the girl entertain
ing another man when he reached her home
in Knox alley.
Shorter was arrested, and when tried in
the Police Court this morning on a charge
Of assault he was ordered to pay a fine of
$40 or to spend thirty days on the banks

Excessive Speed Alleged.

Lieut.. George A. Anthony, U. s. N, was
stopped last Friday on Massachusetts ave-
nue. by Policeman Hughett of the third
precinct and told that he was running his
automobile faster than the legal rate.
Policeman Hughlett told the lieutenant
that he must leave SO collateral for his ap-
pearance in the Police Court to answer the
charge Of violating the speed laws. That
amount was deposited, but when the case
was called in the Police Court this morning
there was no response by the defendant,
and the money was declared to be forfeited.
Policeman Hughlett says Lieut.. Anthony
was going at the rate of eighteen miles an
hour. His excuse was that he was in a
hurry.

ALLEGED ILLEGAL ACT
CHARGE OF TAMPERING WITH
SCALES AT NAVY YARD.

Acting Secretary Newberry announced
late yesterday afternoon that he had re
ferred to the Department of Justice for
its investigation and action. if the facts
adduced warrant It, the papers in the
case of Henry Lissberger, a member Of
the firm of b. Lissberger Company Of IiO
East 14th street, New York. The firm had
contract with the Navy Department for
buying scrap metal at the Washington
navy yard. and an enlisted man at the
yard made the charge that Henry Liss-
berger. the firms representative at the
yard. had been tampering with the scales
while a load of scraps was being made
ready for shipment. The particular
lot referred to was reweighed after
the charge had been made, and when
the discrepancy in the weights was
communicated to Lissberger he APP
peared to be greatly astonished, but
promptly paid a sum amounting to
more than $4,000, which, it Is said, the
government would have lost had not the
discrepancy been discovered. Following
this, the Navy Department officials took
measures to ascertain the railroad records
bearing on shipment made previously OF
nVe cars of metal scraps from the yard.
This examination. they said. showed a loss
to the government of between 60, 900 and
10000 pounds OF scraps, had not the real
weights been disclosed. 1t was then de-
termined to refer the whole matter to the
Department of Justice. The firm promptly
disavowed responsibility for the alleged
frauds.
Precautions have been taken to guard
against any repetition in the future OF
such a practice as that described by in
closing the scales and keeping out every
one who has no business there. None of
the officials at the yard is held responsible
by the Navy Department for Lissberger's
alleged act, while. on the other hand, much
praise is bestowed on the enlisted man
for his alertness in discovering an alleged
Illegal act.
