hehd their SHORTCOMINGS, special needs
and difficulties than any white man on
earth. AS Judge of the police court,
Lawyer Jones would set new mark
and such an appointment would make
a hit with the colored people, and at
the same time meet the approval of
the local bar and white citizens who
know the high character and impartial
Judgment of the man proposed for the
honor. Lawyer Jones is particularly
strong with the best colored citizens Of
Maryland, and his work in that state
was productive Of excellent results. as
the returns for Taft and Sherman indi-
Gated. His eloquence is being relied
upon very largely this year to defeat
the DISTINGUISHING amendment, and
there is no .doubt that he will be:a Wit
al force in rescuing thep "old line
state" from the hands Of those who
would continue to hold it back as the

Judge or as a prosecutor Of violators Of
the laws, the department Of justice
would find in Mr.. Jones valuable
ally.

There is q strong movement under
way TO have the administration confer
some honorable recognition upon Law
yer Thomas L. Jones, who since his
graduation from the law department
Of Howard university, has held q lead
ing place at the bar Of the District Of
Columbia. His legal ability is pro-
nounced and as an orator he has few,
if any equals. He would be as much
at home on the bench as pleading at
the bar, and taking note Of his poise,
dignity and judicial temperament, his
friends will probably urge the depart
ment Of justice TO offer him position
commensurate with his brilliant and
solid attainments and In which he can
bring to bear his exceptional talents
as a barrister or, administration jus
tice. 1t is pointed out that in the dis
trict, where oue-third Of the popuIa-
ton is colored. that 1t would be only
fair that one Of the judges Of the po-
lice court should be a member Of the

Foul Breath
Made Pure and Sweet by the Use Of
Stuart's Charcoal lozenges.
Trial Package Sent Free.

Do not go among your friends with
breath SO odious as to make your
presence distastefui. Foul breath is
capable of easy removal if you will
take little time to overcome it. Gen
orally fo4. breath come from one of
two causes, impure gases or foul di-
gestive fluids.
Charcoal is the strongest absorbent
of foul gases known. 1t positively at
trac's soisons and neutralizes their ev-
II effects,
A noted French physician swallowed
stry>saine enough to kill three men
and with teaspoonful of charcoal re-
moved the bad effects of this terribly
swift poison.
"A little charcoal in a bed room or
cellar will make foul air pure Pure
willow charcoal mixed with honey are
the component parts of Stuart's Char
coal LOzenges and pure breath is the
result of their use after meals. Simply
dissolve two or three after meals and
at bed time and foul breath fees at
once. No matter how you cause these
gases. whether by bad food, alcohol or
abuse OF the stomach Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges will stop gas making and
sweeten the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and the
eating Of box would cause you no
Inconvenience whatever.
Charcoal is hard to prepare for the
stomach because it must be strong and
pure and most people will not take it
unless made palatable. Stuarts inim-
liable process presents charcoal to the
taste and system in all the nicely de-
sired.

pure honey and the combination is

1.-THE Devil" impressed Aud
fence as the Work of
HeIpS Master.
THE ACTING WAS ARTISTIC
HOWEVER THE PLOT AND NOR
AIS OF THE DRAMA DID NOT
SEEM TO MEET WITH POPULAR
FAVOR.

It has come and gone-come with
the reputation of creating whirlwind
of comment and gone leaving behind
the impression that everything derog-
play as THE Devil" is deserved. The
play looms before the public as crea-
ton of Satan and with all his wiles
and cunning. an audience is made to
see some things to admire, though
lighting the whisperings OF conscience
with every thought. The Savage pro-
duction OF the famous play was pre-
scented twice to local audiences at the
Gennet. theater yesterday. At both
matinee and evening performance the
audience was large. In each instance
the capability of the actors was APP
preciated. but the applause was weak.
Strive as best they could, w. L. Abing-
doe: In the title role. Jane Oaker. as
leading woman, and the associate
players could not bring forth tumult
Of l1andclapping, such as would have
other production.
Miss Oaker Pleasing.
Der Teufel'' is from the pen of
Franz Molnar. the famous Austrian
playwright. 1t is staged in an excel
lent manner and the presentation in
this city suffered none by any incom-
potency Of the company. Jane Oaker
is a footlight favorite in this city. She
10 remembered best for her connection
with THE Pit in conjunction with
Wilton Lackaye. Those who saw her
in "The Devil and compared her
work to that in the former play could
not but realize she was acting under
the handicap of the vehicle. Edmund
Elton. as Karl Mailer, the artist, got
along about as well as could be expect
ed Of one of hi caliber 1t is very
much of one man play and Abingdon
as this one. portraying the part of the
Devil, did not fail to be impressive.
He carried difficult role true to its
Interpretation by the Savage players.
Olga Hoffman, the wife Of the banker
and second figure to the Devil, was
well cared for by Miss Oaksr. Marion
Shirley playing the part Of Mimi, the
artists model. had the distinction OF
carrying the only really pleasing role.
Story Of the Play.
The story of THE Devil is concise
Six years before Karl Mailer, the
painter, loved girl who now is Olga
Hoffman. wife OF the banker. Mailer
acquires fame as painter of por-
traits. The bankers wife goes to him
to sit for painting. Their old love
is rekindled. He knows she is I'M
happy and he has never married.
They are about to make the best of the
situation by agreeing to let matters
take their course, when the Devil
makes his appearance as a Doctor
Miller" Some time previous this
same mysterious stranger had brought
