THE COLUMBIA.
Honey Boy NIinstrels.

The large audience at Columbia Thea
ter last night seemed to be kept in a con-
tinuous state of hilarious edifcation by
the entertainment offered by George
Evans Honey Boy Minstrels which, as
a matter of fact, is the usual condition
when they come along.
The show comes strictly within the linz
its of what is commonly known as mod
ern minstrelsy," the kind that retains the
traditional environment as setting and
depends for effect on specialties and add
ed features. of which this year the most
prominent is James ]. Corbett, eX-cham-
pion pugilist, who, besides acting as in
terlocutOr during part of the perform
ance, delivers an interesting monologue,
detailing some incidents in connection
with the Reno fight, and Offering as a
conclusion adduced from these episodes
his reason for the Jeffries fiasco, which.
summed up into two words, was mental
collapse The talk was we'll delivered
and received with marked interest
The principal feature Of the show 9TH
erwise is George Evans. with his exu-
berant flow of Senegambian comedy. He
is certainly a very funny fellow, and
there is spontaneous quality In his
work which effectively precludes any dis
position to maintain a somber attitude
while he is getting it OFF He gave his
usual run Of merry talk during the first
part and appeared as the main merry
maker in the closing farce. entitled "A
Firemen's Picnic,'' he figuring as Snow
ball Livinston. a negro clown of the long
toed variety. The performance opens with

tie with Mary" byNaughn Comfort; Mel

drill and dance. with song accompani-
ment called Manila
The show closes with the farce which
relates what befell George Evans, as
the aforesaid ''Snowball,' and Sam Lee.
as Monk Anderson, an Ethiopian bad
man." The whole thing is hilarious, and
one of the decided hits is the female i'm
personation of Charles Hilliard, who ap-
pears as Jesimima Brinkley, an octoroon,
and assumes the mincing walk and af-
fected manners very cleverly.
The show as a whole is entertaining,
and there seems to be no apparent reason
why a visit to the Columbia Theater this
week should not act as a care-dispeller.

Of the government and in a large sense
occupy the position of a tax gatherer for
the government.
In the case of silk, hemp, jute, or flax
industries there is no disposition on the
part of the government to collect revenue
from their raw material. In the case of
the wool industry. however, the govern
ment, for revenue purposes, has for
century past aimed to collect revenue
from raw wool. and to-day it receives
from this source alone somewhere near

Buc it should not require formal
warnings, it should not require
enforcement of the law, to pre-
vent this dangerous practice. The
papalling fact that during the past
ten years there have been as many
persons killed by trespassing on
railroads as were slain during Our
great Civil War should so impress
the people that they would not
think of walking on railroad
tracks. Nor are immediate warn

Warning SignsAreAgents

During the trial, in local court
at Baltimore last week, of four
men who had been arrested on
the charge of trespassing upon the
tracks OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road within that city, the conten-
ton was raised that the trespass-
ers should have been notified bv
an agent of the railroad company
to stay if the property before
they were arrested. The attorney
for the State contended that the
signs warning against trespassing,
which were apparent at various
places along the line, constituted
an agent of the company, convey
ing the specified notification with
in the meaning of 7ile law. The
justice accepted this interpreta-
ton and imposed fines upon the
offenders.
This sounds like reason and
common sense. 1t is presumed in
these days that all persons can
read, and even the ignorant can
not fail to understand the mean
ing OF warning sigs along the rail
roads. The signs, therefore, are
to be accepted as agents of the
railroad company, giving such
warning to trespassers that the
