Some Peculiar Customs

Mr. George Bull, who recently re-
and hiswife had been visitinga daugh-
ter, says he met all kinds of people.
And for the first time in his life did
he see women chewing tobacco He is
OF the opinion that if some of our
young men should see them they would
be so disguised they would quit the
bad habit. They saw fine orchards and
plenty OF frnit, but some of it was
growing where the stones are so thick
you can hardly see any soil, He says
it shakes fellow up to ride oyer the
roads down there. The climate, how
ever, would be pleasant in winter and
summer.

DOCTOR BROOKS INJURED
BY a Kick From His Auto Breaking
His Right Arm

Doctor Brooks suffered an nnfortu-
nate accident last evening that viii be
an annoyance 10 say the least, for
some weeks to come. When he
came out of his home after supper and
cranked up his machine it deliber-
ately kicked back and struck him on
the wrist, breaking one Of the bones.
The reason for the trouble was that
the "gparker was advanced, which
produced an explosion before the cyl
inder had passed the center and threw
the crank backwards, thing that will
always occur under tho same cdndi-
tions.
We see notice posted in
the Post-Oilice concerning small boys
entering cars and opening packages
must have made more than one par
ent think where his boys spend the
evenings. Some parents are glad
that their boys leave the house In the
evening. Store keepers feel relief
when they leave their stores. Even
teachers in schools sometlmes find that
boys OF their bad character are det-
riment to the room and are glad when
they are out. The boy so placed new
en- reforms. A parent who is indiffer-
ent 10 his boys future, who cares lit
tie whetherhe goes tochurch or school
who does not know where his boy is
during evenings, who knows he associ-
ates with older bows, is going in debt
to society beyond that ever dreamed
by law abiding citizen,

New National.

1.-THE Bohemian Girl was presented at
the New National Theater last evening be-
fore a well-flled house, which, provided
with dainty Japanese fans at the entrance,
presented a striking effect during the even
Ing as the fans kept time to some Of the
old favorites of Balfe's tunfeul opera.
Nothing can dim the attractiveness Of the
songs which charmed the mothers of the
present generation in their school days.
THE Heart Bowed Down. II Dreamt
Land Of Poland" are part of the musical
heritage Of the times. and a delight to hear
when given with appreciation and color.
Individually the opera last evening was
well rendered though the chorus was some
what attenuated in tone. While In a meas
ure not up to the standard Of former eff
forts, possibly due to climatic conditions,
the company did fairly WELL and it would
be mistake to overlook the Gypsy Queen
of Edith Bradford, or the Count Arnheim
Of Harry Luckstone, both of whom gave
quality of tone and color to their princi-
pal arias which was promptly felt and
applauded. 1.-The Heart Bowed Down"
number was given with particularly fine ex-
preston, which awakened recollections of
other opera singers of note that made
Balfes work famous.
The interpOlated play and nonsense after
the style of the modern comic opera pro-
vided by Huntington May, in the, role of
Devilshoof while amusing, was hardly in
opera on the whole was very acceptably
rendered, considering that the time Of its
preparation was confined to one week. and
that many difficulties, peculiar only to sum-
mer stock companies, had to be overcome.
The company is to be congratulated in
the opera so notably free from many first
night bitches.

Belasco,

For the last production Of his summer
season at the Belasco Mr.. Edwin Arden is
presenting Capt. Swift drama by C..
Haddon Chambers. Despite the fact that
yesterday was the hottest day this summer
last nights audience was surprisingly large
and enthusiastic Throughout the season Mr..
Arden has selected and successfully played
roles which are inextricably associated with
famous players. However, his portrayals
have all been original, and his rendition Of
Captain Swift is quite distinct, though not
disparagingly from that of the late Mr..
Beerbohm Tree.
The play Is one of the familiar type Of
English dramas, making its principal char
acter an exalted thief Of the never, never
land" and somewhat lacking in comedy
situations. The plot, however, is excellently
nodded.
Alice Butler as Mrs. Seabrook shared the
honors of the evening. Her role was emo
tional and she played it in a subdued and
graceful manner which was very convinc-
ing. The audience was agreeably surprised
by the appearance of Catherine Laughran,
resident of Washington, who is speedily
finding a place among the most accom-
plished actresses Of the day. AS Stella
Darbisher and Mabel Seabrook Amy Picard
and Jessie Glendnning were all that could
be expected.
Mr.. Edward Ellis, in the many plays pro-
duced by this stock company, has developed
a high standard of excellence and Versatil-
fty, but at no time has he displayed a more
finished bit of work than his portrayal of
Mr.. Gardiner in the production at hand
The performance lacked those bitches
characteristic OF first nights" and undoubt-
eddy by the end of the week Mr.. Arden will
take his leave of Washington with many
happy recollections of a most profitable
assurances for success from old and new
friends in Washington

RATES TO BLUEMONT.
Railway Explains Why Sunday Spe-
.cial Was Withdrawn.

somewhat erroneous report was current
yesterday about the Southern railway hav-
ing withdrawn the usual weekend rates to
Bluemont and other nearby Virginia points.
The railway officials say the Saturday and
Sunday tickets to Bluemont, 81, and to
Leesburg, $1.45, are still on sale and will
continue throughout the summer until Oc-
tober g. These tickets are good to return
until Monday. The only tickets not on
sale this summer that were sold last sea-
son are the Sunday only tickets at 81 from
Washington to Bluemont and back, and for
which the road ran a special Sunday train.
The ministers OF Virginia last winter,
through body known as the interdenomi-
national committee, took up with the rail-
roads of the state the matter of running
both freight and passenger trains on Sum-
days, and after q conference between the
committee and the presidents Of the rail-
roads it was agreed to stop selling all the
very cheap tickets, good on Sunday only,
cursion trains.
In doing this the railroads are cut out Of
good many dollars which they have
easily heretofore taken in, but entered
into the agreement rather than run any
chances of having the Virginia legislature
make more restrictive Sunday laws which
would seriously interfere with the running
on Sunday of fruit and vegetable trains
from the south through Virginia to the
eastern markets.
