Henry w. Savage's magnificent re. yival of Woodland" will be the at traction at the Orpheum Theatre to- morrow night. This is one of the most dainty and attractive produc- tions in the dress of comic opera which the present day stage has
 seen. When you go into Woodland
 with the birds, you get entirely away from the work-a-day world and ex- perisnce once more the joys of child hood, when we all thought fairies were real and the birds their special messenger. The music which Gustav Luders has written to accompany and illustrate Frank Pixley's idyllic book. is characteristic and full of local col
 or. The melodies are suggestive of the featnered songsters of the forest. It is bright, melodious and of tny catchy order which fingers in the memory, making you go from the theatre either humming or whistling its jolly refrains. Plenty that will amuse will also be found in this charming musical frolie, for not only do the quaint and novel features of the play sustain the interest, but tne

Users of the telephone are becom- ing so numerous that 1t Is not surpris- ing to find one installed in almost every home, but 1t did seem rather an up-to-date affair for negress to have one in the back room that comprised her apartments" A woman who wanted an extra bit of washing done in a hurry had gone into the small al- ley in search of her. 70, Miss Brown" said the .washerwoman, you needn't to have come clear down here for me.

5. SMITHS
 ON HOUSE ROLL

Samuel William Smith of Michigan is the remaining number of the name ! from his state since the promotion of William Alden. He has been here ten years. He has just been made chair man of the District of Columbia com mittee, and that means much hard work and worry, with, perhaps, some pleasure. His political experience. prior to his coming to congress n- cluded two terms as prosecuting attor- ney and a term in the state senate.
 Madison R. Smith of Missouri bel gan life as farmers son, and Is fifty seven years old. This is his first term in congress and as a student he is enjoying it. He is a lawyer, and says in his biography that he began the active practice of law in 1S77, since when his entire time has been devoted to the profession, not merely for the emoluments, but because Of unselfsh love of its study"
 This is put in words not usually used in a congressional biography Over twenty years ago Smith was Nelected to the state senate, and after serving four years declared that he had enough. Then he spent four years as reporter of the St Louis court of
 
 which was represented by a republi- can up to last March Smith is 8 quiet, studious man who promises. if he remains in congress, to serve faith fully his people without any over whelming ambition to achieve fame. ! William Robert Smith of Texas is l the last of the names on the roll call and he is forty-seyen years old, grad uate of the Sam Houston normal school, lawyer, and has served many years on the bench. This is his third term in congress.
 With so many of the name in the world this discussion of the congress ional Smiths brings to mind the fact that never has there been a president of the name But one Smith was ever nominated for president, and that was { Green Clay Smith of Kentucky, and ! he was the nominee of the prohibition party in 1876. This Smith served two { terms in the house, and after his cor ] gressional service was a preacher m this city, where he died two years ago.
 There have been bur dozen Smiths in the, United States senate since the government was organized. One of these was Delezan Smith. wao prior to his election as senator from Oregon lived in Ohio and edited the old Dayton Empire. He served but seventeen days in the senate.
 John Smith was one of the first two senators elected from Ohio, and he lived in Cincinnati. He was mixed up with the Burr conspiracy, and re signed when threatened with expu- sion. It was never clear to the friends of Smith that he was guilty, and he lived in his old home until his death, soon after his resignation.
 In all there have been eighty Smiths in both houses since the org anization of the government.-Wash- ington Star.

ATTEMPT TO DESTROY
 ....... SUBMARINE BOAT
Damage of S22,OG0 Done To Vessels Electric Batteries,

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Feb. A. simon Lake, president of the Lake Torpedo Company, today gave 0lt the following statement: An attempt has been made to sink the submarine torpedo boat Lake Sea water was let into the interior of the boat Jy open ing four valves. Her condition was discovered before she entirely sank. A loss of $22, 900 to the storage batter ies which were damaged by salt waFe- that flooded the battery deck. No in- surance was carried on the vessel, 1t having been tuned up for submission ,, to the navy department for final test. Detectives are working on the case. This is the second attempt to wreck the Lake submarine" MT. Lake will not give any further information. It
 has been learned, however, that an all legged attempt to sink the craft occurT-
 ed about fortnight ago in night time.
 The boat cost s2o0.000.

The sibilant sound is not heard as of yore when the roll of members is called in the house. This for the req son that the number of Smiths Is less than ever before. In the last congress there were twelve Smithss on the house list and this year there are but five who answer to the name There is one Smith who has been a member
 of the house for twenty ears, but he
 has never yet answered a roll call
 This is not negligence or absence on
 his part, for he iS very attentive to
 his duties, but he is a delegate from
 Arizona and has no vote. He san
 talk, and he does talk, but. alasl no
 matter how much he would like to see a bill beaten or carried. he must
 remain silent when the others vote. Marcus Aurelius Smith, delegate from Arizona, is a good fellow. who
 learned the gentlemanly ways m ord
 Kentucky before he moved to the far west. It has long been the ambition
 of Marcus to see his territory made a state prior, to- his reaching an ad7 vanced age. He has good reason to ! believe that he would be one of the first two senators from Arizona if statehood could be accomplished dur | democrat, and, there are active re publicans in the territory who wou-d make the fight long and hard one | if there was a senatorial seat in view, | but sentiment for Marks long pa
 tience and silence would do much to | give him the reward, even if ne re | mains a democrat.
 | During the first week of the present session Representative Smith of Hi nois died, never answering to the roll call athat summoned members up to l be sworn in. This Smith had served ! twenty years, and while he cut no ex- i tensive figure, in house affairs, he was considered a safe and sane sort or a 1 chap with a district that would per sist in keeping him there until death or promotion. His death left the. house with but five active voting Smiths
 William Alden Smith of Michigan, who was sent to the senate from tae house last March, had achieved more l fame than his brethren of the name, and he is now the only Smith in the 1 senate. He is the first of the name in 1 the senate for many years, the last
 being Smith of New Jersey.
 The first Smith on the roll this year is Sylvester Clark Smith of Bakers
 field, Cal He is in his fiftieth year. born on an Iowa farm and took the old route to fame-that of teaching school and studying law. He has also
 edited a paper devoted to irrigation. He has served many ears in his home legislature and came to, congress two
 years ago from district that gives
 republican majority of over 5000.
 Walter L Smith of Council Bluffs
 is the Iowa. member of the name and
 he has already served four terms. He
 had served ten year" as judge and

QUEER NAMES USED IN CHINA.
Much the Same Idea as That of the North American indian.

We Chinese, Said the law student. give our children queer names. Our girls, for instance are not called Mabel, Jenny of Matilda, but Cloudy Moon, Celestial Happiness, Spring Peach or Casket Of Perfumes Our boys get less delicious names. Boys are made for work and wisdom, rather than for dancing sand pleasure. and their names Show this, as Practical Industry Ancestral k Kh0&ledge, Com plete. Virtue, Ancestral Pfety, Discreet yalor. To our slaves we give still an- other set of names. Yes, those dear, pathetic little slaves of ours, some girls, some boys, who do hundred various little tasks about the house, these lowly creatures have names like Not For Me, Joy to Serve.
