THIRD AVENUE HEATER
 OPENS AUSPICIOUSLY
Heart of Maryland" Is Drama That Will Appeal to Everyone Raymond Company's Splendid Sue cess.

Don't shoot; you are aiming at my heart" These lines spoken by Miss Pitt, in the titular role in that | beautiful military drama, Heart of Maryland" were the keynote of the theme of the play, with which the Raymond company opened the Third Avenue theater last night, in the presence of an enthusiastic audience such as has seldom greeted a com pany under that roof or any other in the city.
 There was an expression of almost unanimous approval from those who were first nighters, which augurs well for the success of the play house under the new management of Myers & Jacquith. Considering the great effort necessary to place the play acceptably before the people in the short time at it's disposal, the company did remarkably well. Only one incident which might be called a hitch in the prearranged plan Oc- cured; that was the breaking of the film in the moving picture machine due to a flaw in the film-not the machine-for that is of the latest improved fireproOf pattern and the best procurable on the market In order to not delay the performance the management wisely decided to allow that feature to pass till to- night. The floor of the theater will be raised to, the proper slant so as to give a better view of the stage.
 However. any inconsequential lack of smOothness in the presentation of tho Hr1 ma fkor, rio by the straight heart to heart talk which Mir. Whitaker made to the au- dience in apology. The applause which he received in this instance was abundant proof that the com pany achieved a meritorious success and would receive favorable com ment.
 The costuming was as complete and elegant as could be found in stock companies in any western city. The scenery was all new and everything had the sparkle and flash of splendid equipage. The scenic affects secured especially in the third act were clev- erly wrought and very realistic.
 Margaret Pitt, Maryland Calvert was pronouncedly fine, a lovable DOT ,trayal of a wholly lovable woman MT Whitaker's delineation of Col Allen Kendrick was fetching. Benja- min Renolds as Col. Thorpe of the secret service deserves special men ton. His part of the drunken of ficer, who is the villain, was notably good. Harry Hollingsworth as Lloyd Calvert. and Charles Stambaugh as Sergeant Blount were both good. MT. Stambaugh is local actor of prom ise who will be seen frequently with this company. Fiddias Page. who took the parts of Gen. Kendrick and also of the sexton, showed his ability in character delineation.
 Heart of Maryland" is certain to appeal to almost every play goer. It abounds in beautiful lines. and carries one back to that great civil conflict out of which many a real. thrilling story has been born. Among the specialties were two | tenor solos rendered by E. P. Wilson. which were received with marked ap- proval

TRIBUTE TO FLUTE PLAYER.
coIored Messenger Evidently Right
When He Called Music Powerful. !

| Lewis Miller, clerk of the house
committee On the District of Columbia,
is chirking up a bit these days, accord
ing to Irving G. Norwood. For the last
! couple of weeks Mr.. Miller has been in
a state of profound depression. He has
not smiled. He has not spoken other
wise than solemnly. There seemed,
from his air of gloom, to be somebody
dead in the house Office building. So
the other day I asked him about it,
and his face frightened up quite
little. He seemed to want to talk.
cts my flute" said he; "rny Ger
man silver flute that has been with me
since Hector was a pup. Never, in
the past 20 or 80 years. forget just
how. long I been without my
flute. When I am tired I play the
flute to rest myself. When I am rest
ed play the flute to become pleasant
ly fatigued. When 1 am sad I play
to be gay, and when I am gay, play
to get sad. My flute is my constant
companion, my main source of joy, my
only eternal, everlasting, Interchangeable
friend" 20.
After this talk with Mr. Miller I
went out and found the dusky messen-
ger who is intrusted with the labor
ious duty of seeing to it that nobody
steals the southwest corridor of the
building.
'Did you ever hear Mr. Miller play
the flute?" I asked.
"Oh, yassir," the messenger replied;
'he sure can play. Mr.. Jones, down.

wanted to sing. But one day l done

pantry and kitchen. They come in
white, with blue or brown decorations,
and each has the name of the ingredi-
ent it is to hold. Some Of the sets
have German lettering, while others
are in English. Sln ses to hold these
jars aEaaa necessity in a kitchen. They
should be arranged neatly and rather
close together and with some idea Of
fitness. Size is an important factor
in the arrangement, but when several
of the same size are to go on one shelf
a little discrimination should be used,
and when once a place has been de-
cided upon for a jar it should always
be kept in that one place. This ar
rangement will make it easy for the
cook to find in a minute just the thing
she wants, whether it is granulated
sugar or borax.
Spice tins are less expensive and
they serve as well as the porcelain,
though they are not so ornamental.
They are highly ename1ed and are
usually square. They have fitted tops
instead of shallow lids, as the porce-
lain ones have, and they are found in
a greater variety of tints.
The kitchen sink is more important
than architects are willing to consider
it. AS rule the sink is placed in any
corner convenient to the water pipes
and where space will admit it. To be
properly built the sink should occupy
a place under window or near one,
so that there is plenty of light when
washing the dishes, preparing vege-
tables or doing the other tasks which
must be accomplished in this particu-
lar part of the kitchen. Then the
sink should not be too far away from
the closet, otherwise the maid is
forced &c take many more steps than
she should. When the sink is in the
opposite end of the kitchen from the
pantry it makes kitchen work harder

if she is provided with an outfit such
as department stores sell. Think,
soft gloves are made to wear when
lifting pots and heavy stove attach
ments; thinner ones come for the pur-
pose Of protecting the hands while
sweeping or busting; then there are
rubber gloves to put on while washing
dishes. Caps, gloves and nose and
mouth protectors are made to adjust
before beginning to sweep. The sani.
tary craze has invaded the kitchen
with considerable force, and no mod
ern housekeeper sweeps or allows her
maid to sweep without having the
mouth and nose protected from the
particles of dust which are apt to be
germ laden.

Staten Island, the Bronx, Jersey City,

device to amuse and collect the coin.
People who go there have an idea that

and more like drudgery than it should
be.
The tables for drying dishes should
be adjacent to the sink. In many
kitchens-in fact in the majority Of
the rented ones-this necessity is
overlooked entirely, and sometimes
there is no drying table at all, which
means that the dishwasher must dry
each dish separately and then walk to
the end of the room to put it away or
to far distant table and leave it
till she is ready to place several of
them in the closet. A dish rack is a
great labor saver and reduces the
number of steps to a minimum when
this part of the domestic work is in
