"When Knights Were Bold y

Francis Wilson is this season pre-
senting a play by Charles NARROW en-
titled When Knights Were Bold, that
is entirely out of the ordinary run
of modern stage productions. 1t is q
satire upon the boasting descendant OF
historic characters whose sole and only
virtue Is that he is the offspring of a
family tree that was once great As
Sir Guy de We're. the skylarking chap,
who takes almost nothing seriously,
Francis Wilson has a part which fits
him we'll. The play is a rollicking ex-
ploitation of the ridiculous conditions
that would confront a twentieth cen
tury young man who cares nothing
about antiquity and romance. The fun
lies in the alert, modern spirit in which
the hero meets these curious condt-
tions Charles Frohman has surrounded
Mr.. Wilson with an unusually large
and capable company of players, and
will present the popular comedian at
the New National Theater Monday
evening next for a weeks engagement

abled as a result to carry to the Phil

on South American Conditions.
"Christion Work in South America"
was the subject of a lecture last night
by Alberta Min Frias, secretary of the
Uruguayan legation, before the Mems So
ciety Of the Church of the Atonemant,
Rhode Island avenue and North Capitol
street.
The main auditorium OF the church was
we'll filled with members of the society
and their friends. Senior Frias, who was
born and reared in Latin-America. spoke
of the history and geography of South
America. He explained the reason for
the existence of twenty republics instead
of one like the United States, and dwelt
upon the commercial and natural re-
sources of the country.
The speaker urged a closer and more in
innate commercial relation between the
United States and Latin America. He
said that in going from New York or
Boston to any Latin republic it was nee
essary to cross the Atlantic ocean dnd
take a German or English liner from
a European port. He dwelt for some
time upon the field for religious work in
South America, and showed the splendid
opportunities afforded for Christian mis-
sionary activity there.

Charities and Saloons.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In discussing the charities problem

chief purpose Of such work is to cure the
causes of poverty instead Of the symp-
toms. Submit. how are we to cure the
cause when the cause goes unchallenged.
with right Of way. in more than 500 sa-
looms in this city? Poverty in this city
is traced directly to the legalized saloon,
where so many people spend their earn
ings for drink instead of using the money
for the support of their families. The
effects CT intemperance will never be elm
mated while the cause is protected by
legal enactments.
With the limitless process of criminal
production, and its varied possibilities SO
amply protected and continued by statu-
tory law, the effects will repeat them
selves indefinitely. With the legal cause
before us, in it's complete exemption from
its results. it will be able to furnish sub
jects for the Police court and the board OF
charities forever and aye. With the
cause fully legalize6 the effects are
equally legal in the school of results, SO
elaborately exemplified in the criminal
calendar and the call for charities. Most
people earn enough to support their fam
lilies in decent manner. but If their earn
ings are squandered in drink, and fail to
reach the home and its necessities. the
destitution of the family appeals to pub
lie sympathy without disturbing the cause.
