LIFE AND GINGER
AT THE GARRICK
Also Good Dramatic Work by
Ex-MiniSter Edward
Davis

There is plenty Of life and ginger, in
tcrspersed with real dramatic art IN the
aggregation that opened at the Garricl
Theatre yesterday afternoon and last
night Hashmot, a Japanese equilibrist;
Miss Mabel Phyllis Irving, in a singing
act Of merit; Joe Kane, a comedian form
erly connected with the Rogers Brothers
IA a skit OF his own entitled "A Bunch Of
Nonsense" or something Of that sort;
subers, coakley and Mcbride. IN min
stroi speciality that provoked plenty or
merriment. and Minnie ST. Clair, 'Trhe
Girl from Missouri" IN a talking number.
interpreted with a snatch or two OF
song, that made the biggest sort OF a hit
with upstairs and down, are all included
in the bill. Edward Davis. the Los
Angeles minister, who gave up the pulpit
for tho stage and Is satisfied for the world
20 know IL. presented Oscar Wildes story,
'Tho Picture OF Dorian Gray" IN most
acceptable manner. rcmplar SAKE, an ac-
TOR OF merit and a singer who was at
one time connected with the Metropolitan
Opera Company, does excellent work in
the cast, as does also Miss Adele Blood,
IN the role OF Dorian Gray. The piece is
magnihcently staged and In this shows
all the touches OF masterhand. Mr.
Davis assumes the role Of Lord Henry
wotten, pessimist. and he very ably
acts the part OF pleasing personality with
good stage voice and knowing how
Mr.. Davis has produced a very delightful
bit Of dramatic comedy out OF Wilde's
story. The act may not please the gal
lery quite so well as others on the bill
but there can be no doubt about II pleas
ing the downstairs. Billie Burke's pre-
sentation Of 'The Models OF Jardin Dc
Paris" with Carl Henry and capable
cast. close the show and repeated the hit
which It won at the Fifth Avenue I'm New
York last week. Coming along after Mr.
Davis fine dramatic number ''The Models
OF Jardin de Paris" is a hitting climax to
bill that leaves little else to be desired
IN the way OF variety and genuine merit.
II local audiences wait until tho end OF
tho week 10 SEQ this bill It is safe to say
that some will miss it--for tho standing
room only sign Is likely TO be in evidence
before Saturday more than once.

JERSEY ApPLEJAcK SCARCE.
Price is High, Fruit is Scarce and
Topers Are Alarmed.

lCperS are ALARMED
A Dover. n. j.. dispatch says New
Jersey faces an applejack famine. The
apple crop is so short in the northern
counties that the lovers Of the drink,
shotgun in hand, are camped out in the
orchards ready 10 shoot and kill any
one who tries to despoil the trees Of
what little fruit promising future jags
there is on them. Old topers have or
ganized a vigilance patrol. They say
they are determined that the apples
shall remain on the trees until ready
for the still.
The ground the old applejack drink
ers take is that any person who does
not know better than to pull green
apples and run the risk Of collie when
by waiting a little while he could pull
ripe ones and convert them into ap-
plejack ought to be shot on sight. II
is estimated there are at least 1000
members Of this volunteer applejach
patrol scattered throughout the north
ern counties. They are divided among
the orchards They watch the orchards
and the farmers watch them.
Farmers who have defed both ap-
petite and burglars and have apple

year are putting the casks in fire.

one grasping farmer demanded s2.5l
drink. The consumer paid It, smack
ed his lips. and said he was gettinl
off cheaply. Henry Michaelson, al
applegrower near here, traded tw'

that he did not hold out and get tn

Mr.. Payne. who brought in the resoIu-

about the amendment. the republican
leader sharply exclaimed:

Congress Asked to Make This Ar

The Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia have sent to Congress a prOpo-
sition to give control Of the Fairgrounds
OF the city into the hands of a commits
sion of five or seven members.
This course follows the receipt of a let
ter from Arthur C. Moses, vice president
OF the Washington Playground Associa-
tioa, informing the omnissioners that
the association believes that whenever
the government is called upon to contrib
ute and does assume the larger share of
expenses the management of municipal
Fairgrounds should be placed under Off

The explanatory portion Of the letter
from Mr. Moses is as follows:
"Inasmuch as Congress is now being
called upon to contribute the larger part
of the amount estimated as necessary to
properly maintain the municipal play
grounds, 1t is the sense of the officers and
