GAS RANGE DEALERS
REGISTER PROTEST
Oppose New Department of
Lighting Company.

Firms which sell gas ranges and other
gas appliances have sent a resolution to
the Washington Gaslight Company, ask
Ing them to reconsider their intention of
establishing a commercial department.
The resolution bears the signatures of the
dealers. as follows:
Woodward & LOthrop, A. L.isner, of the
Palais Royal; S. Kann, Sons 6; Co., M.
Goldenberg, Barber & Ross, c. A Muddi-
man & Co, Lacey & Co, New Method
Stove Company, Coberth, Hanes & White,

urer; Rudolph & West Company ]. d.

man, A. Eberly's Sons, Inc, by B. J.
Smith, jr.. treasurer: w. S. jerks & Sons,
Chesapeake Supply Company, ]. A Sykes,
cashier; Armentrout & Sons. by ]. Clyde
Armentrout
In the resolution ii is pointed out that
to maintain commercial department will
entail a big expense, and that many of
the gas consumers will imagine they are
paying for the keeping up of the depart
ment in excess charges on their bills
The resolution calls attention to the
fact that legal counsel which the dealers
have engaged are of the opinion that it
is doubtful if the company has the privi-
lego to do more than manufacture and
sell gas, and questions whether its char
tar gives them the privilege to do a gen
eral merchandise business.

THE NATIONAL.
Bernhardt in "Sapho. :.

In selecting Alphonse Daudet's drama
of "Sapho'' for the last of the plays to
he given in her present repertoire, Nine
Sarah Bernhardt made a concession to
the older school of dramatists and to
those who had seen her in her earlier
stage uiumphs. But it was claimed by
those whose memories went back to the
first time that the French actress played
the role of Fanny Legrand in this city
that her delineation of the role last
evening was entirely comparable with
her work of other years, although il can
not be denied that, as the week wears
on, Mime. Bernhardt shows the strain of
giving eight performances In six days.
In ''L'Aiglon'' she was apparently fresh
and almost vivacious-but as the days
pass by her age begins to tell and many
in the audience last evening noted that
she continually CROPPED for the back OF a
chair the friendly arm of a member of
the company, or some other support when
she was forced to stand for any length
of time. Despite this, however, her per
formance was a great personal triumph,
and the applause which greeted her work
was loud and insistent, notwithstanding
the fact that the audience was compare
lively small.

/ Resplendent in gold and silver

tunes that glinted and glistened IN
the bright June sun, the first circus
parade OF the season threaded It's
way down Jefferson-ave. and among

Witherell to Woodward, thence back
to Jefferson and out again TO the

The combined Hagenbeck and Wal

day morning, In three big sections.
and before most OF us were out or
bed the work of erecting the big
tents was we'll under way and the
cooks were preparing breakfast for
the travelling city that constitutes the
organization.
The street parade was fully up to
past standards, II not a little better.
Participating in II were nearly 1000
men and women and about 200 horses,

the herds of elephants and camels that
are always an interesting feature--the

ups as we'll as the small boy.
The complement of eQuestriennes
and their escorts presented an impos-

their proud mounts, stepping proudly.
The well-groomed animals seemed to
know that they were on exhibition
and were eHite as anxious to appear
at their best as we're their riders.
An unusually large contingent OF

When the body is weak and the blood

cause unless wasting illness has pre-
eeded the decline IN health,
Obscure influences, something un-
healthful in ones surroundings or
work, may lead To a slow impoverish-
ment OF the blood and All enlightenment
of the whole body. When a serious
stage has been reached there seems 70
be nothing that will account for it.
In such cases a complete change OF
climate or OF work will sometimes effect
