MONTGOMERY AND STONE
AT NATIONAL IN "RED MILL"

They say that good things are worth
waiting for, Washington has had TO
wait for more than a year, and now
anticipations are to be realized. and
what has been acclaimed one OF the
best things IN the light musical line is
to come 70 this city next week. This
will be Charles Dillingham's much
talked-Of and highly praised cperetta,
The Red MILL" which, with those
clever comedians, Montgomery and
Stone. IN the leading roles. will be seen
at the New National for the first time
next Monday evening. Montgomery and
Stone are assured a warm welcome in
Washington by the hundreds Of friends
they made when here with The Wiz

the stage two new and unique charac-
ter presentations-the Tin Woodman
and the Sca.ecrow. During their pend

Death of TWO Pastors
Heavy BLOw to Church
Catholics at Loss to Find Priests to Fill VaCan-
Cies In St PatriCk's and the Church of
the Holy Comforter.

With the death OF DIT. Stafford. pastor
OF St Patrick's Church. and Father Nc
CURE, pastor OF the Church of the
Holy Comforter. two Of the most i'm
portant Catholic parishes IN Washington
are left without head 81, Patrick
is probably the most important In the
sense that II is the central parish IN
Washington and also because there is
a large debt connected with its admin
istratiOu.
The Church Of the Holy Comforter,
however, is the youngest Catholic par
ISL in washington and under the direc-
ton OF Father Mcguire 1t had fairly
completed its organization.
Influential Men Required.
Men Of influence, tact. and fine admin
istrative ability VIII be required for
each Of the two positions and priests
and laymen are much interested in the
probable successors to both OF thess
popular pastors. ST. Patrick's is one OF
the few parishes in the Baltimore 40
cese which carries with It a life Us
signment.
So far no one has been spoken of
as the probable successor to Father
MCGUIRE, although HIS death occurred
so recently that a new pastor FOR the
church has hardly been considered.
Strangely enough. little gossip has
been heard CONCERNING the prospective
appointment TO st. Patrick's, although
DR.. StaffoTds death vas not unexpected
weeks before the first intimadon OF his
critical condition war made known to

phian should know thSt he has re-
vised or rather enlarged his list. In
the last few weeks he has discov-
cred some thirty Americans who
really occupy the first rank" The
list will be expanded from time TO
time, no doubt, as the cOmpiler's
knowledge increases.
But it must be admitted that
probably no other American author
is better fitted than Mr.. Wister for
the task of enumerating the great
intellects of the United States, for
of all American writer's he shows
the least sense Of humor.

In commenting on the antiquated

Gently made a personal Inspection OF

overproUd Of the showing made. He
has no ;ault 20 find with the men or
his Heutenants. but he has a lot to say
concerning the unsanitary condition OF
station houses, the ante-bellum fire
arms used by police. and the carriage
equipment used by the force. The police
force. no says. is as good as any police
force in the country. and. If tho records
or the Police Court and the data kept
by thu chief clerk OF the Police Depart

testimonial speaks well Of the valuable
services performed by the washington

"Ovsr twenty years ago." Major syl-
vester said. ''the department put IN use
large number OF revolvers Of pat

force. In the years intervening these
arms have been repaired and parts re-
placed until their usefulness is about
over. Such condition Of equipment might

assassin. From year to year the de-
