LAS a church and race in the south we
are face to face with the so-called race
problem. / appeal to you to dispute the

the custodians of the homes, the wives and
the children of the white men of the south
and at the close of that war when they re-
turned home, they found them unframed.
We are the sons and daughters of those
colored men. If they were SO faithful and
honest can be the same"

ONLY WORDS OF PRAISE.
Representative Chapman's Impression
of Work on the Canal.

Several members of Congress of the party
that recently went to Panama to look over
the canal and see how things on the 18TH
mus were getting along came to town yes
terday on their way home from New York.
Some of them like Washington so well that
they stayed over long enough to take in
the opening day of the spring meet at
Benning. Representative Chapman of ILL
nois was one of those who spent the day at
the Capitol looking over some accumulated
mail.
We had a grand time" said Mr. Chap
man. Everything seems to be going along
fine down on the isthmus. and / cannot
say too much about the apparent efficiency
of who were pessimists have become
optimists, and the optimists are wearing
still roster glasses than before. So far
as We could see, there is no opportunity
for graft In connection with the construc-
ton OF the big ditch. Chief Engineer
Stevens Is not we'll and / don't blame him
for resigning. He is mighty popular down
there.
"Of course, a party of laymen dropping
in on big enterprise like that and stay
ing only a few days cannot be expected to
acquire all the loose knowledge In the vicn-
ity In such short space of time. But 1t
Is possible to get a very good impression,

preston We did receive after inspecting
every portion of the work was a most
favorable one. indeed. | believe the canal
will be constructed with surprising dispatch,
considering the many obstacles in the way,
and that the American people will be most
agreeably surprised at the outcome"

Caesar and CLEOPATRA.

Next week at the New National Theater
Mr.. Forbes Robertson and Miss Gertrude
Elliott will appear in a repertoire of three
plays. Caesar and Cleopatra the clever
comedy from the pen of George Bernard
Shaw. will be given Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday night and Wednesday matinee.
Mice and Men, will be given Thursday
night and Saturday night, and Hamlet"
will be the bill Friday night and Saturday
matinee.
Caesar and Cleopatra" is probably one
of the most delightful of the Shaw comedies
and was especially written for Mr.. Rob-
ertson in 1899. Neither Mr.. Robertson nor
Miss Elliott found opportunity to appear
in it until Klaw and Erlanger brought them
to America for the purpose of having this
comedy given a public hearing. In Mice
and Men," both Mr.. Robertson and Miss
Elliott achieved popular success in London
Mr.. Robertsons Hamlet has been seen
here before and 1t has been acknowledged
as one of the greatest Hamlets of which
the stage boasts.

Verdfs "Rigoletto' stands as a type Of the

Verdi's delightful operas with many tuneful
melodies. The old favorite. Chimes Of
