The Right to Live"

"The Right to Live" is to be given its
first production at the Columbia Theater
next Monday evening. The developments
in the new play involve a strong man and
strong woman. There are various COM
binations at work toward the upbuilding
of the man-his regeneration. Yet at
the same time. there are strong forces
working against this. The girl, fner
type of woman. with unfortunate environ
ments, realizes the task before her. ana
naturally the author has made her char
acter worthy of her Sex, endowing her
with strong mental vitality. so strong IN
it's influence that 1t touches the very soul
of the man. The. play Is saiu to possess
many original features. Most playwrights
have made the heroine of problem play
the one to be redeemed. but MIR. Good
man, the author of The Right to Live,
has reversed conditions and long-estab-
1ished custom by first redeeming the man
The promise is made that The Right to
Live vii! be presented by good com
pany. of which Miss Grayce Scott is the
leading woman and Alfred Bruning the
leading man.

LECTURE ON COMBUSTION.
Economic Phases of Coal Burning
EXPLOITED by ENGINEERS.

Economic Phases of Coal Burning
Exploited by Engineers.
Prof Paul NJ. Chamberlain Of Chicago
lectured before the Washington Society
Of Engineers last night in Hubbard Me
mortal Hall. He spoke on Combination"
and declared that imperfect combustion
costs more in human vitality and conf
mercial force than perfect combustion.
Taking the pine knot and the old smoky
lamp as examples of imperfect combus-
ton. he compared them with the per-
fected lighting appliances of today.
Speaking of coal, he said that users of
fuel are discovering that there are few
investments which will pay SO high a
rate of interest as good furnaces. He
stated
The economic phase of coal burning
has for its consideration the most perfect
combustion Of coal. giving a smokeless
chimney; the avoidance of excessive air

Washington steamers. They constitute a
convenient and most satisfactory means
of transportation for those whose Journeys
take them through the National capital
on the way north or vice versa.
Sailings are made daily at $50 pm,
with connections at Norfolk for all points.
The vessels are models of comfort and
safety, the staterooms being we'll fur
nished and steam-heated, while the din
ing-room service, a great factor, is in
variably satisfactory. Steamers stop ar
Old Point Comfort going to Norfolk, as

ent place for travellers to secure tickets
and staterOom accommodations. The
