THE MARYLAND SUFFRAGE
PLAN.

The Stateof Maryland, after max
ing several unsuccessful attempts to
eliminate the negro vote by amend
ment to the State constitution. as
practically all the Southern States
have done. has adopted the bold and
novel plan TO accomplish this end by
a direct attack upon the 18th amend
ment to the Federal constitution.
In short, it is contended that in State.
county and municipal elections,
Maryland is not bound by the 18th
amendment TO the Federal constitu-
ton as she has never ratified il. and
hence has the right to regulate her
internal suffrage plans. 1t is not
proposed to undertake to prevent
negroes from voting in Congressional
and Presidential elections. which it
is claimed come under the provisions
Of the 18th amendment.
There may be something in the
proposition, but as at present ad-
vised it looks as if Maryland was up
against proposition.

Two Acts at
 Orpheo Theater

1t is hard matter for a team in vaudeville to follow a classy act like that presented at the Orpheo theater the past week by Princeton and Yale in "600 Miles From New York" to make good, and that is probably one reason why Lola and Bird fail to make as good an impression as their predecessors, so to speak. The lady member of the team does a good singing number, but aside from this one feature in their skit there is nothing to appeal to theater goers at the little playhouse. Elliott, Fassett and Company in Minerva s Maneuver" offer noisy, but anus ing sketch, in. which Edith Fassett Jack Hughes and Harry Crapeau ap- pear. The act is not out of the or dinary, but there is enough action to make it go. The members of the trio work hard and get many laugh The pictures for the first half week are good, as usual. The usual mdd- week change will be made tomorrow night.

BIG ATTRACTION TONIGHT

One. of the most ludicrous scenes in that sensational musical triumph, The Queen of the Moulin Rouge which comes to the Elks Theater to- night is done in pantomine. After
 the great dancing of the ballet in the ito set the stage with chairs and tab les with the curtain up. For a long time Samuel E. Rork, the manager, worried over a means of doing this naturally without causing a stage wait. Vincent Bryan who wrote the lyrics for the piece, dropped into the theater with John T. Hall, the com- 'postr, to watch rehearsal. Every thing went along smoothly until the dancers had finished. Bryan jumped
 into the breach. Hey, Sam, why
 don't you put Savourette in there, soused? Have him stagger up to 2
 chair, attempt to sit down and have
 the waiter move it? Same stunt
 with table. A couple of walters
 handling tables and chairs, and a girl to take away drink, in a glass, will fix 1t out. Bryan jumped on
 the stage to illustrate, dragged Harry
 Short the comedian, with him. Com poser Hall pushed Carl Burton, the musical director, off the piano stool, and sat at the keyboard, watching Bryan, as did the entire company.
 The song writer commenced to move the stage, and Hall, improvis- ing, followed his movements. The music was of the halting, hesitating in keeping with the move ments of an intoxicated individual It soon took on haunting melody, which Burton quickly placed o npaper. Short fell into the spirit of the thing and in five minutes novelty had been worked up and placed where an awful gap confronted the manager like chasm, with no means of it. That pantomine of Shorts is one of the big laughs of the piece and to his credit be it said
