JOKING COMMENTS ON INCL DENTS IN THE COURSE OF LEGISLATION EVOKE
 LAUGHTER.

Washington, Aug. 20-Speaker Clark Is one of the most cheerful men in Congress- these days If he ever felt
 sore" on account of the outcome of the Baltimore convention he seems entirely over it. He has a, smile a light word and hahdshake for every body.
 He has caused a gale of laughter to sweep over the House several times in the last few days by good natured comment. During a parliamentary tangle, Saturday, Representative Mann, Republican floor leader, and Representative Underwood, Demo cratic floor leader, were trying to fix things by whispered conference. The chair is unable to hear what the gentlemen from Alabama and H. linois are saying said MT. Clark. with a twinkle in his eye.
 In an instant the House was in a good humor and several members on different sides of the aisle, who were about to fly at each others thrOaIts, speaking, began to grin. MT. Underwood and MT. Mann con- tinued their conference aloud and the point was settled satisfactorily to ev- erybody.
 Within the last few days the Dem ocratic leaders have reached an un- derstanding that Mr. Clark shall be the next, Speaker of the House and Mir Underwood the next floor leader, if the Democrats win in November. Mir. Underwood's close friends would like to see him run against Mr. Clark for the Speakership, but the majority leader does not want 1t.

The splendid idyl "40s' when Cali fornia was basking in wealth as a result of the gold discoveries are de- Vest" which is presented this week by the Poli Players. An immense audience viewed the play last night and great enthusiasm was shown
 The plot centers around the Polka saloon, rough mining resort which is a, sort of a social club for the camp. Here "the girl'' stands behind the bar. mixes drinks, and rules her little court. She is the only woman in camp and the men are all devoted to he. Jack Rance a gambler who is a product of the south, pays court to 'tthe girl'' in spite of the fact that he already has wife in New Orleans
 Jacks attentions are we'll received until "the girP' makes visit to a larger town and on the trip meets a handsome stranger who calls himself Dick Johnson Later Johnson visits the Polka and wins the heart of the fair proprietor. He goes to call at her cabin and is tracked there by a posse looking for Ramerez, an outlaw, Jack Rance has informed the posse that Johnson is really RamereZ. The girl'' hides Johnson and the scene in which she and the sheriff play a game of poker for the outlaws life, is very dramatic
 Miss Marguerite Starr outdid herself as ''the girl.'' In the comedy scene she brought out the laughter and in the dramatic moments she showed a depth of feeling that astonished those in the audience who had regarded her only as a comedienne. Miss Starr was frequently appiauded.
 Wilson Melrose, the popular leading man, returned to the cast after his re- cent illness and was given rousing reception forvhis work as Dick John son. A newcomer in the cast, Ed ward Van Sloan made 3 hit as Jack Rance the gentleman gambler. Charley Jewett and Charley Dickerson of this city were seen as camp characters and. both did we'll. C. Wilson HummeH staged the piece and to him much of the credit for the success is due.
 He does a. neat bit of character act ing as Jose Castro. Others in the cast were satisfactory.
 The $500 Stultz Bros. piano that Manager Poi gives each week, was awarded last night to Miss Nellie Troy of 153 Lexington avenue. For mer Mayor Buckingham conducted the draW wing and received a great ovation from the audience.
