THE LID" IS TIGHT
ON CLIFTON FORGE
Even Ice Water and Milk Are
Not Allowed, at All
Times.

How'd you like to live in a town
where cold milk and ice water are
scheduled as Iuxuries, and where it is
q violation of law to sell or give them
away during certain hours?
Down in Clifton Forge, Va, the lid
is on tighter these days than in any
other city, town or village in the United
States The anti-saloOn league and the
w. c. T. Z. have Outdone themselves
and now the white ribboners cant even
enjoy refreshing drink of cold water
on a hot Sunday, unless they buy the
ice before 70 o'clock Saturday night.
Central Office Detective Bob Hewlett
arrived in Washington this morning
with so many weird tales about the en-
forcement of the blue laws in Clifton
Forge that there might be an opportun-
ity 10 question the accuracy Of some Of
the details if Hewlett had not been
there and seen for himself, and If his
veracity was not above suspicion.
Hewlett went TO Clifton Forge after
man who was wanted here for passing
a bad check. He had his prisoner at
the railway station. had bought the
tickets, and was just about to get on
the t1an when a dispatch came saying
that the Charge had been nolle pressed,
ana l. would not be necessary to bring
him 10 Washington.
As he was strolling up and down the
platform. waiting until il was time TO
get aboard the train, Hewlett mex d
Pullman conductor whom he knew well.
OF course, it is out of the question IN
Clifton Forge 70 extend the usual in
vitatiOn when two friends meet in a
strange place, so Hewlett invited the
conductor TO have a glass Of cold milk
at the lunch counter In the station.
IT'S Sunday morning and can't sell
you milk" said the man behind the
counter.
IN front Of them the refrigerator was
open. It contained several varieties Of
soft drinks on ice, but there was moth
ing doing. They couldn't even get two
oranges. The only things that can be
sold after Il O'Clock Saturday night
until L o'clock Sunday night are sand
witches and coffee. Hewlett said that
II the town council. or board Of alder
men, or whoever 4 is runs the town
could taste the Sandwiches and coffee
they would be taken on the list Of
necessities, too.

NATIoNAL-aThe Bohemian Girl.o

NATIONAL-"The Bohemian Girl"
The Aborn opera Company viii say
good-by this week with Balfe's always
welcome and widely popular standard
opera, THE Bohemian Girl" as their
final offering. The former weekly
changes of this organization have been
confined to the lighter compositions,
with a predominance of musical COM
edy, but there have been so many calls
for some Of the higher class of compost
tions that It has been decided to present
THE Bohemian Girl as the farewell
bill In selecting the only Offering of
this class to be given during the series,
THE Bohemian Girl" was chosen on
account of its wide popularity.
The opera is one Of the best known
Of the popular classics, because of its
many easily remembered melodies, like
THE Heart Bow'd Down" I Dream
! Dwelt In Marble Halls" THE Gypsy
Bride The Fair Land OF Poland. So
Then You'll Remember Me-" bliss
Forever Past" the gypsy quartet and
ether tuneful gems.
In arranging the cast the Aborns have
selected those artists who have made
the most favorable impressions in the
various roles of this opera with the
Aborn organizations in other cities
which, happily, includes many of the
singers who were seen in the same parts
here formerly, and all Of whom are
strongly sntrenched in the good graces
of Washington operagoers,

C0LUMBIA-~The Adventures of Lady
Ursula"
f. H. Sothern's masterpiece, THE
Adventures OF Lady Ursula. is an
nounced as the play to follow Mrs.
Temples Telegram at the Columbia
Theater, beginning a week from to-
morrow night.
This comedy. from the pens Of An
thcny Hope and Edward z. Rose. was
produced in Philadelphia about ten
years ago. Mr.. Sothern then carried it
INTO the Lyceum Theater, New York,
for run. Not alone did Mr. SOthern
attain one OF his most notable triumphs
but Virginia HaTned's impersonation OF
the title role received high commenda-
ton The comedy is bright and has
the true ring.
A notable feature OF the Columbia
production is the fact that Frederic A
Thomson, the stage director of the local
company, occupied a similar position
with Mr.. SotheTn and staged the play
originally.
Elaborate stage settings have been
prepared for the piece, which gives
promise Of being the gem Of the Column
bia season.
