EIGMAN,s NEW PLAY.

| Love--the handspring of the
world-that which gave it birth,
maintains it-and is the ruling
passion of all who people it's the
theme of Max Figman's new comedy
success, "Mary James Pa" in which
the favorite artist will appear at the
Illinois theatre Wednesday, In this
instance, however, it is set in a
comedy frame, with lots of laugh
ter and pure wholesome fun. But
love is there-the love of the moth
er for her children which gives her
courage to take up a mans work
and support them; the love of the
children that gives the mother
strength in her arduous task; the
love of a man for a woman with
whom he sympathizes; the love of
the daughter for her actor sweet
heart; the love of the country swain
for all the girls and feeds upon the
f1attery of it; the love of the little
child whose sympathies are always
for the unhappy; and lastly, the love
of the man, the father love and
mate love, which crowds out the
wanderlust in his heart, brings him
back after IL years and awakens
with redoubled strength his affec-
tion for wife and children and in
spires him with the ambition to as
sumo his OWE responsibilities and
become a husband and a man again. |
And permeating it all is the under
current, the love of home, that great |
institution that builds up nations |
and brings man closer to his creator !
MARY James Pa is one great SER
mon in love, told with picturesque |
truth and beauty and interpolated |
with laughter and honest humor.

She will love every character in it,

And why? Because the men in the

THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMs.
SION

This Commission, authorized by an
act of the last legislature. and ap-
pointed by the Governor, consists OF
James NJ Amber, of Baltimore City;
Philip H. Laird, of Montgomery eoun-
ty, and DIR. Joshua w. Herring, of Car
roll county.
This is new department of our
state government, and has most i'm
portant functions. The law under
which the Commission was created
clothes it with large and eomprehen-
siYe powers.
Many of the states of our country
have such Commissions. but It Is new
to us here, and in order that our
readers may understand something
of the scope of the work II eontem-
plates. we state, that It has to do with
all the Public Service Corporation"
of Maryland. A large number of the
numerous corporations of the state are
not touched at all by this law, but
only such as are chartered to serve
The public, such as Railroad com
panies, street railroad companies, gas,
electric light and water companies,
telegraph and telephone companies
and all other corporations whose
function 1t is to give service to the
general public.
This Commission. whose powers,
under the law, are very great. Is ex-
peeted. in helpful way, to stand be-
tween the public and the corporat-
tons, whose work brings them With

It will unquesuonably be great

these corporations should render. and
It will upon the other hand protect
the corporations themselves from I'M

So that, II administered IN the true
spirit of the law. 1t will be a protec-
ton to the public and to the Public
Service Corporations. as veil.

ferred as are given to this. Commits

should be exercised In the most care

Commission must not be carried away
By the popular, but unHise clamor

The functions of the Commission
are mainly judicial. and should be

that the gentlemen who compose the

Much interest Is being taken by the
public IN the recent interviews ap-
pearlng In The Sun on dutless roads.
Nothing Is more Objectionable to those
who use . road as we'll as those who
live next to It than dust. Its elimi-
nation would be a boom to everyone.
But In addition to the comfort
which the absence of dust will give.
greater and more important object
which will be conserved by its absence
Is the life of the road. One OF the
many objections urged against metal
roads Is the enormous cost of their
maintenance, which Is much greater
here than abroad. This is no doubt
owing to climatic conditions, to our
dry, hot summer days during which
the surface Of the macadam road Is
ground Into fine particles, into dust.
which Is then either blown away, or
is washed away BY our heavy thunder
storms. One can therefore readily see
that whatever prevents dust, pre-
serves the life Of the road.
No one seems to know at present
what is the best way to prevent dust.
tho the results Of various experiments
seem to indicate that 1t can be done
either by an application Of oil to the
finish surface or the employment Of
tar as a binder to the last course Of

the travel Is heavy the tar binder l.
