Pineapple Shipments Small.

Receipts OF pineapples at Baltimore
from the plantations at the Bahamas will
fall far short of previous years, caused
by the fact that much of the canning of
the fruit that was formerly done at Bal
timore is this year being done at the
islands where the pineapples are grown,
and the canned fruit is being shipped to
this city.
Friday 29, 500 dozen fruit We're received
at Baltimore aboard two vessels. This is
the largest receipt in any one day since
the season opened.
They We're brought from Gregorytown
and other ports by the schooners Venus
and j. Edwin kirwan. Neither vessel,
il is stated. will return to the islands for
another cargo.
The schooner Bill Nye. which made one
trip with the fruit, has been released
from the service. and has returned to
general freighting work on the river. The
r. T. Rundlett, Laurina Clayton and
Clemme Travers are expected to arrive
this week with fruit aboard, but only the
Travers, it is said, will be sent back for
another cargo:
A year or two ago twenty-five vessels
were employed in the pineapple running
fleet, and each made several trips. The
light receipts of the pines at Baltimore
does not affect the local market, as most
of the fruit used in this city comes from
Philadelphia and New York.

compelled to bide their time and watch.
Eventually the game broke up and the
players scattered, Johnson being the only
one to make his way toward the street
where the officers were.
The other shooters who went down
were Jimmy" Russell, Ginger" Ives

They were interrupted in quiet

took his sentence quietly enough, but
complained of being lonesome.
The police said the shooters were
particularly active both Saturday and
yesterday for some reason or other
and numbers of other games were broken
up. the players escaping arrest, however,
because of their sprinting abilities.

HAHN & co.'s BIRTHDAY.
To Celebrate Thirty-Third Anniver
sary With Notable Sale.

The three big shoe houses of William
Hahn & Co, at 9TH and X streets, 1911
1916 Pennsylvania avenue and 233 Penn
sylvania avenue southeast tomorrow will
celebrate their thirty-thrd business ami
versary.
For two weeks they will offer the most
sensational birthday prices in many of
the most popular styles of footwear for
summer wear.
No business house in the District of
Columbia can boast of a more consistent
annual growth than this firm. In 1876
the house was started at 1922 Pennsyl-
vania avenue A 15x35-foot store oper-
ated by William Hahn, with one errand
boy, was all the facility required by the
firm in those days.
Since that time the business has stead
lily increased in volume, until today, own
ing and operating three of the largest
shoe houses to be found in any of the
large cities of the United States, the an
nual shoe sales of this concern aggregate
half d million dollars and force of near
" seventy-five employees is kept busy the
year round
As the business prospered the two
brothers of William Hahn-Messrs Nor
Tis and S. Fred Hahn-were admitted into
the firm, while in February, 1898 it was
found necessary to incorporate the busi-
ness: so that its proprietors now include
Harry W. and Edwin Hahn in addition to
the foregoing.
The success of the firm is generally at
tributed TO the fact that its entire en-
erSy and capital are devoted exclusively
10 one department of merchandising
shoes- Honest values, distinctive styles,
progressive and hustling methods and
square dealing al all times have been
other factors that have resulted in stead
lily increasing sales.
The thirty-third birthday sale will be
an event well worthy of the attention of
prudent and wide-awake shoe buyers

From the Delineator.
The first stage is the verse lisped in
infancy. the second is the children's per-
formances in the barn, the third is the
school entertainment. This dramatic club
is the fourth stage to the stage. Many
Of these clubs are the result of ebullient
youth striving to find expression When
the members marry the club goes to
pieces. Others do not last beyond the
first engagement ring. They meet and
elect officers, some one plays a waltz and
the evening ends appropriately. They
meet again and the stage manager pre-
pares to cast the play. young man
sings that he has sighed to rest him
deep in the quiet grave, so touchingly
that he is given the leading role-they all
dance. After a long while a performance
is given in the ballroom of one Of the
members. The less said Of the acting the
better, but the floor is excellent. Sooner
or later the Elite Dramatic Club becomes
the Elite Dancing class, and that is the
way it should be-they have found their
expression
But there are many clubs who have
given serious performances for years
serious to them, at least, and very serious
to the young leading woman. She may be
but she is the best of her kind in the
town. She does not realize that there is
one such best in every handful of people
who can boast a corporation.
Even to the real actor who may be
lured into attending a performance, she
seems good. If she is a member of one
of those several clubs in the United
States which boast that their productions
equal professional men, she appears
only little less excellent be-
cause the rest of the cast aver
age better. 1t is very perplexing
to the skeptical visitor to find the per-
formers making good" their tall talk.
The voices in the little auditorium carry,
and their scenes are approved by roar
ing audience who would stare blank
faced through the most artistic presenta-
ton on Broadway.
1t is the enthusiasm of these friends
that awakens the visitor to the real stu
alton; there is no standard to go by.
These young people are playing wonder
fully because they drink tea and ex-
change calls with those just over the

sage with pretty blue-green leaves, and
ragged blue blossoms; thoroughwort or

filled with small herbs, such as chives

another with something that we called
