To Clean a Raincoat.

Macintosh coats which have be-
come bard and rigid may be easily
cleaned with lime and water, and
made to look as good as new. A hand
full of the best gray lime should be
dissolved in half bucketful of water,
and the mixture applied to the stiff
ened parts by means of a piece of
sponge. This should be repeated at
the end of three or four hours.
Cashmere Is always easily cleaned
and the spots removed if they are not
of too long standing. A paste should
be made of fullers earth and cold
water, and laid over the marks if
they do not yield to simple sponging
with water, to which few drops of
ammonia have been added When
dry, the paste should be brushed off
and the garment well shaken in the

ORDERS SALE OF LAND.
Court Acts in litigation Involving
About 100 Acres

Justice Gould has rendered a decision
in the case of Martina Carr against
9varilla Lambert involving a question
of partition of valuable property interests
on 10th street extended, directing a sale
of the realty. Mrs. Carr filed suit about
two years ago against her sister. Mrs.
Lambert. to compel division by lots of
about 120 acres of land between Georgia
avenue and Chevy Chase Circle, bordering
on Rock Creek Park, in which it was set
forth that each of the parties was en-
titled to a one-half interest.
Mrs. Lambert contested the right to
partition the property by lots, claiming
that by reason of it's character and loca-
tion and value, If division was to be
had the only feasible plan would be to
have sale and a division of the pro-
ceeds. The case was tried several months
ago. since which time the court has had
the matter under advisement, one of the
points raised being whether. assuming
that no division in kind could be had
money from one to the other, the court
in kind between the parties and a pay
ment under the provisions of the code.
The court decided that the weight Of the
testimony is TO the effect that an exact
partition in kind could not be had, and a
decree was signed appointing Wilton ].
Lambert and Raymond Heiskell trustees
to make sale Of the property at public
auction.
The attorney for the complainant was
Raymond Heiskell and for the defendant
Wilton j. Lambert.

Launch Arrives Here From Delaware

The launch Mabel j., which was, pur-

ware river. by Capt. Harry Wright of
this city, arrived here several days ago
from the Delaware and is now being
cleaned, overhauled and made ready for
active service. The launch is hand
some craft and is thirty feet long, eight
feet beam, and is equipped with on eight
horsepower engine. Before it goes into
service for the new owner the name is
to be changed to Dollie W. 1t will be
listed with one of the local yacht clubs
and will be used for extended cruises on
the river during the summer.
The auxiliary power sloOp Mary F.,
was yesterday hauled out on the marine
railway at Regan's boatyard to stop a
leak and for general repair work and
painting. The leak developed Sunday
night and it was stated that pumps
had to be kept going all night on the
craft to keep it afioat until it could be
hauled out. The sloop will be on the
railway for several days.
The power launch Bess. which has been
at Regan's for the last two years, was

Theater last evening was pleased with
the Columbia Players production of
Barrie's The Little Minister" I'm
daunted by the fact that Maude Adams
rendition of the part of Lady Babbie
has become classic with almost every
theater-goer in Washington, and that
comparison was inevitable. Julia
Dean courageously and successfully
essayed the role, with but the neces-
sarily short preparation possible in
stock work, be it remembered Her
portrayal of the witching. elfsh
Egyptian" was noticeably her own,
too. differing materially from that of
Maude Adams. Aside from any com
parisOn, Miss Dean was thoroughly
satisfactory and enjoyable and proved
herself equal to the big scenes" of ne.'
part.
Gavin Dishart THE Little Minister,
was played by Alexander Calvert and
played with that reserve and nicely Of
conception that has stamped his work
so far in the Columbia Players season.
Everett Butterfield and Frederick A.
Thomson were particularly convincing,
even to their Scotch dialect. while
Ethel Wright was thoroughly satisfac-
tory as the boy, Micah Dow. Thomas
Chatterton, to the disappointment of
many, had but small part-that Of
Capt. Halliwell-of which he made The
most. F. Cecil Lewis a Washington
boy. made his first appearance with the
Columbia Players as Sergt. Davidson
and handled capably the few lines al
lowed him.
The story of The Little Minister Is
SO well known that a repetition of il
would be superfuous. The presenta-
tion as whole was enjoyable. though n
the fact that the play itself is short
seems scarcely sufficient justification
for prolonging the intermissions be-
tween the acts to from ten to fifteen
minutes each.
