It is not intended that the central
board shall make the purchases, their
duties ending with the preparation OF
schedules, receiving bids, and awarding
blanket contracts, based on an approx
mate amount OF supplies, for the COM
bined departments and bureaus. tbs
done, the heads Of departments alsd
bureaus have but TO order supplies ur-
der the general contract.
The advantage in having each depart
ment order its own supplies instead uf
having a central board do the puTchas-
ing, as has been suggested, lies in the
fact that double handling OF the material
IS obviated, whereas the whole purpose
Of the commission Is accomplished when
uniformity in quality and price IS Sc
cured.

FAMINE,
PINCHOT PREDICTS
Chief Forester Says Timbe.
VIII Only Last Twenty
five Years.

A lumber famine within the next quar-
ter OF a century is predicted by Chief
Forester Clifford PinchOt. who has just
reformed from a 10,O0O-mile inspection
tour through the forest reserves, unless
steps are at once taken to check the
ravages of the tree de5poilers.
Mr.. PinchOJ says that the importance
timated. as the United States uses more
timber than any other country and every
man, woman, and child would be af-
fected Although about one-fifth Of the
timber lands OF la.e country is in Gov
ernment reserves Mr.. Pinchot calls at
tentiOn tC the fact that the privately
owned lands are better than the Gov
ernment reserves, and the Government,
therefore. really does not control one
NTH OF the cOuntry's timber.
Among the steps planned to cope with
vention, to be called by the President,
Of governors Of the several States to in
augurate an educational campaign. Con-
gress viii also be asked for additional
money and men 70 extend the forestry
service and TO replenish the denuded
lands.
Mr.. PinchOt is we'll pleased. however,
with the work accomplished by the serv-
Ice with its limited means and men. He
says that the people must be educated TO
the dangers of forest despOilation ia or
de- TO cooperate with the department
and prevent a timber famine within
twenty n twenty-five years.
Mr., Piuchot spent several hours at
the White House yesterday afternoon,
and. II is understood. discussed the sit
uation thoroughly with the President,
who Is deeply interested in the subject
Of forest preserves.

another financial corporation has suf-

The new firm, while not being con-
ne,ted with the Wall Street concerns
nor vitality interested IN the agitated
andes Of the bulls and bears, was, new
ertheless, a bank representing a large
portion of the wealth of the sporting
population OF Willow Tree alley and
when Rameses Smith appeared in the
Police Court yesterday morning 70 ex-
plain the unforeseen run" he was fol-

crowd.
Rameses, who is blessed by Providence
with a figure closely resembling the uni

testify against Henry Smaliwood.
Drawing himself up with a sad and
melancholy dignity. Rameses proceeded
to relate wherein Henry had erred.

Bone to Gnaw, Rye to Drink,
Roberts Joy Brings Policeman

According to the theory of Rudyard
Kipling, Robert Honesty is beyond the
point where he can be saved. Robert
is afflicted with that dread malady OF
drinking in secret. Mr.. Kipling says
that there is always hope for the man
who goes out publicly at stated periods
and becomes riotousiy drunk, but that
the man who sips, sips. sips away iu
private, with no thought Of any thirst
but his own, is beyond the pale.
officer Garfield was strolling medita-
lively along Twenty-second street when
he was attracted by groans and curses
both loud and deep. He girded up his
long coat and scuttled in the direction
of the noise, expecting to see a human
being giving up the ghost. AS he passed
Honesty's home the sounds grew louder
and the policeman turned and looked up
at an open window. He could see moth
ing, so he took the stairs four steps at
time and rushed into the front room.
There was a startling sight.
Seated on the floor directly under the
window sat Robert, ham bone in his
greasy hands and a black bottle-empty
The Washington times., 1907-11-05

beside him. The man was hungrily
chewing the ham bone, much in the
manner OF a starved animal
After deVouring the meat from one
rart of the bone Robert would emit a
stream Of oaths and grisly gToans that
would have made a less fearful man
than Garfield quail while he turned the
bone over and over IN search Of a
weH-covered portion in which 20 sink
ais glistening teeth. Just as he was
about to bite into a tempting morsel
the policeman stepped forward and
asked the occasion of all the fuss.
II took Robert some time to tear his
attention away from the hambone and
concentrate 1t on the arm OF the law
When he did he sobered down consid-
erably and told the policeman that Il
was merely g custom of his to lay IN
a supply OF rock and rye when the
feeling was on him, retire 10 :hc privacy
OF his modest bOudOir. and there get
on the outside Of as much happiness
as possible before dropping OF into
blissful slumber.
The policeman thought that Judge
Mullowny would have to decide upon
the wisdom of this manner Of doing
and placed Honesty under arrest. Rob
ert left s. collateral with the sergeant
but when his name was called in Po-
lice Court he was among the missing.

STRIKING FOR CASH,
5000 MINERS LAY OFF

DANVILLE, Ill, Nov. Six thousand
miners at Kellyville, Steelton, and West
vile have quit work because Of the an
nouncement that wages would be paid
In checks instead of cash until the
money stringency Is over.
Last Thursday night the miners were
notified. Friday only a portion Of the
entire number failed TO show up. A
mass meeting was called and the men
decided not 10 go to work until assured
that they would be paid in cash.
Local coal yards are supplied with
ample stocks and no serious results are
anticipated unless the miners remain
idle for a long time. The Illinois TraC-
ton system, which owns the light plant
here. owns the mines and pays the men
in cash.

and how the finger OF calumny had
pointed accUsingly at his dignified and
upright form.
Rameses' witnesses were vaciilating.
Their testimony was chiefly confined 70
their disappointment at finding their
treasurer man OF such poor spirit.

Dramatic Notes

Mabel Hite, who is the wife of Mich
ael Donlin, one Of the members of the
New York league baseball team, will
be seen in a new act next season, in
which she will be assisted by her hus-
band. The act cannot be produced this
season as Mr.. Donlin Is under contract
with the Giants, and will soon begin
practice in California for the coming
baseball season. However he is al
ready hard at work learning his lines
and taking instructions from his wife in
the matter of stage business and make
up. The new turn will be put on at the
close of the ball season next fall, and
the fans will look forward to this
even with great interest.
Richard Carle, who is having a rec
ord breaking success in The Spring
Chicken" Is engaged on two musical
plays, which are to be produced early
in the summer One of them, entitled
1.-THE Hurdy-Gurdy Girl" is to be
brought out in Boston in June, and the
other, which has not yet been given a
name, is to put in an appearance about
August LIST in Chicago.
1t is rumored that the differences
over "Cleo," the play in which Mrs.
Leslie Carter-Payne was to appear,
have been patched up, and that the
production will be made a little later
than was originally scheduled. The
author, Edwin Milton Boyle, obtained
an injunction against the plays produc-
tion. on the ground of the breaking of
the contract by the making Of changes
without his consent.
The first of Q threatened Laura
Jean Libbey dramatizations will be in
flicted on the public In Brooklyn.
PARTED on Her Bridal Tour" is the
name of the production which will af-
ford Miss Victory Bateman an oppor-
tunity to appear before the audience
in a pink nightrobe.
Charles Frohman has secured the
three-act play, THE Silver Box" and
has agreed with the author to produce
this play With Miss Ethel Barrymore
during her season at the Empire thea
ter in New York.
Mrs. Fiske and the Manhattan COM
pany in 1.-The New York Idea" have
created a dramatic sensation in Boston
no less pronounced than that which
marked their opening in New York.
Next fall am elaborate production of
1.-THE Merchant of Venice" is to be
made with David Warfield as Shyloek.
The actor has long cherished an ambi-
tion to play this part.
"The Redskins" the play which
brought w, A. Brady and the critic In
collision, is to be given in England

that appeared at the Mason last week
was a No. aggregation, put together
to play the "rhubarbs" and the prov
inces" and that is the sort that Los
Angeles usually gets. Even THE
County Chairman" company is of that
ilk.
However when a really good company
does want to come here-a company
Independent of the trust formed and
composed of persons not indebted to it
in any way; too big to be under its
auspices Los Angeles does want a
chance to see it, and it doesn't want
any No. troupes to butt in and take
up the time, simply to be bought off,
either by a local manager or by the
big company aforesaid. If THE County
Chairman" and Mrs. Wigs" insist
upon coming here let them defer their
visits till after the opera company has
it's chance, and thus win favor with a
public that now likes them so little
that their business is damaged before
they come.

MASON-It would be difficult to
imagine two roles more Numerically
opposite than those in which Charles
B. Hanford will appear during his en-
gagement at the Mason opera house

Thursday, Feb. 81. No greater test of
an actors versatility could be demand

Morosco having made the first arrange
ments for such a production during his
recent eastern trip. William Desmond,
absent for one week, will make his re-
appearance in the Salvini role. Mary

without a single exception the Burbank
favorltes will appear to advantage. In
addition to the regular matinees, ar
rangements have been made for an eX-
ira afternoon performance on Wash

ORPHEUM-Comm Monday
night, the long type on the Orpheum
bills is given to Patrice and her COM
pany in "Gloria." Hickey and Nelson's 8
"Twisted and Tangled" is n whirlwind

that the title of the act implies. "Happy
Jack" Gardiner and his battered tuba
are as fun Of melody as ever and he
has nice bunch of new songs. Little
Hip" aged IA months. weight 600
pounds, is the youngest and weightiest
actor on the Orpheum payroll this
week. He is now on his first theatrical
tour. From the present week there will

sons and Alfred Kelley and company.

musical comedy the Grand returns to
meIodrama with the Eleford company
presenting "My Tomboy Girl" dra-
matte version of Mrs Southworth's
novel "The Hidden Hand" In past
seasons the Elleford companies have
created a favorable impression here,

trademark in matters melodramatic.
The play follows the novel as closely
as the limitations of stagecraft permit.

built around the events which happen
to a good-natured Irishman, Dooley,
who endeavors to help a friend out Of
serious difficulty, gets involved in an
other and finally marries the girl of his
choice.

amusement loving public is becoming
familiar with the fact that the Old
Mission theater on Main street is Civ
ing good. clean, high-class, moral plays
that appeal especially to ladies and
children. For the coming week
"IIearts Estranged," a beautiful story
well dramatized, with a strong plot

bill.
