THEATRICAL NOTES |
STTrrrrrrVrTS
Mrs. LesIic-Carter IN "Du Barry"

Mrs. LeSUc-taitef VI Du Dstify.
The visit of Mrs. Leslie-Cafter, the
great emotional actress, tomorrow
night shuld prove the dramatic treat
of the season. The appearance of thiA
artist in any of the great capitals of
the world becomes an event. Mrs.
Carter will be seen hege as Du Barry
role which gives her the widest
scope for the expression of her dra.
matte genids. Hep appearance in this
great play, following her extraordi-
nary success in "Zaza" proved to be
one of the most pronounced dramatic
triumphs of modern times. Du Barry
gave Mrs. Carter an even wider scope
for her art. and she reached heights
of emotional expression tina had not
heretofore been revealed. No other
actress, with the exception of Madame
has come within hailing
distance of Mrs. Carter in the ex-
variety of her powers. In
Du Barry she is seen at her best-her
very best-which more than mere
words of encomium can express.

CLEANEY WOMAN
Enormously Thinks by Securing Her
Scalp That She Cures Dandruff.

Clearly woman has an erroneous
idea that bs securing the scalp, which
removes the dandruff scales, she is
curing the dandruff. She may wash
her scalp every day, and yet have dan
druff her life long, accompanied by
falling hair, too. The only way III
the world TO cure dandruff is to kill
the dandruff germ, and there is no
hair preparation that will do that but
Newbro's Herpicide. Herpiclde by
killing the dandruff germ. leaves the

As Auxiliary tn Navy-Prin'
cipal Topic in House.
Republicans Held Responsible for
Condition--Report or Corclyou
to Resolution.
SENATE, DISCUSSED YESTERDAY

Washington. Jan. 30.-The need of
an American merchant marine as an
auxiliary to the navy. formed the
principal topic of discussion In the
house during consideration of the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill
The debate was precipitated by
Littlefeld, of Maine. who, questioned
the legality of the provision of the bill
appropriating 100000 to supply
the deficiency for cbal for the navy
caused by the transfer of the battle
ship fleet to the Pacific. He criticised
congress for its failure to make appro-
Iprlatious for merchant marine.
His remarks ELECTED from Fitzger-
aid, of New York, the charge that
the Republican party was responsible
for thai condition while Sherley, OF
Kentucky, maintained that the lack
OF a merchant marine was "a ma
tional disgrace" and was due to Re
publican policies.
The senate was entertained by n
series of animated comments on the
method adopted by Secretary Cortel-
YOU in placing before the senate his
reply to the resolution calling for in
formation relative to the operations
of treasury department in connection
with the financial disturbance.
The secretary had had the intro
ductory'psrt of his reply printed and
copies of the pamphlet were on the
desk of all senators. which was de
clared by the Democratic senators TO
be without precedent.
The general pension bill, which. n
ratified. will increase the pension roll
by about s12.OOO,000, was intro
lduced In the house today by Chairman
|Sulloway, of New Hampshire. of the
committee on invalid pensions. The
bill, which has the support OF that
committee. provides for the payment
of a pension of sl2 a month. instead
Of IS as at present. to all widows OF
the veterans OF the Mexican, Indian.
civil and Spanish wars.
