Wine, Woman and SONG.

The attraction next Monday,
April 14th, at the Tabb, is the la
test effort of Producer Mortimer
M. Singer. This is high class
production, as nearly everyone
taking part is astar. Violet Pearl
heads the cast of fun makers and
pretty girls and Billy Meehan is
at the head of the male contingent.
This show is the best ever seen.
The cast is splendid, the costumes
gorgeous, and the show right up
to the minute in singing, dancing
and comedy. In addition to Nee
han and Pearl, there are Norman
Taylor, as Israel Brushky, who
takes strong part in the skits
and the school act. Harry Lang,
as Herman Fritz, who greatly re-
minds you of David Warfield.
Frank Martin, who has recently
returned from London, will be
seen as French artist, painting
solely for Americans visiting the
gay capitol of the French. Rich
ard Hanlon, a tenor of repute, has
but very lately closed an engage
ment with one of the grand opera
companies singing in English and
will be heard in some classical
music. Miss Ida Howard is the
prima donna, and before she went
on the musical comedy stage,
played leading parts in Frohman
productions. Interspersed through
out the action of the three acts
will be vaudeville specialties ga
lore and amongst which may be
mentioned Artie Young's Young
sters in an act called The Last
Days of School," and which should
be seen by every school child as
we'll as grown up children to be
fully appreciated. This act is so
true to real life that words can
scarcely be found to properly de-
scribe its merits. The company
consists of thirty people. Prices,

William Fl. Anderson, Superintendent
Of the Anti-Saloon League Of Maryland,
has resigned and will take up the same
sort Of work in New York, as State
Superintendent, after January !. Super
inteudent Anderson has always been a
thorn in the flesh Of the whiskey ring in
this State and has ever keptthe rummies
on the jump. He has probably dore
more to expose the crooked work OF the
liquor ring in politics of this State,
and BY these exposures created public
sentiment for the temperance cause, than
any other individual in the State.
Mr.. Anderson was always on the jobGof
smoking the whiskey crowd ont Of the
dark corners where they were plotting i'll
against the people, and consequently was
most cordially hated by the rum forces.
But TO be so cordially despised by such q
gang of worthless is the best sort of an in
dorsement OF his activities.
In his new position as Superintendent
of Anti-Saloon League work in New
York Mr.. Anderson will find plenty to
do. and it is q pretty safe prediction that
in doing it he will keep the ring forces
stirred up in the Empire State as he has
in Maryland.

The skepticism Of Posteritx.

! There is one very large, very sad
and very certain truth about all the re-
lations of past and future. That truth
is this the future will not believe us.
It will not believe our most solemn and
profound assertions. 1t will rationalize
them or ridicule them. In one way or
another it will explain them away, for
that is the most certain thing about the
attitude of men toward their remote
ancestors. They will believe the testi-
mony Of material things or Of their own
conjectures, but never the sworn word
Of their fathers. Were it not SO there
would be no room for historical criti-
cism or perhaps for history as a sci
ence at ALL Hillaire Belloc in Pail

Two Readings.

4 A well known Partisan antiquary
while on his holidays in Normandy
came across an old farm which had a
curious carving in the form of an ar
mortal bearing over one of the stable
DOORS Beneath the carving was a
wooden bar inscribed with date. Elk
aiming 1t closely, he found the latter
TO be 1881. ALI his antiquarian pas
sions were aroused, needless to say,
and after some bargaining the farmer
sold him the carving for quite nice
sum. The next day the farmer brought
the trouvaille to the antiquary's villa.

the purchaser. 1T bears the date of

Very Cautious Birds.

One day in my walk came upon
two phoebes' nests under overhanging
rocks, both with half fedged young in
them, and in neither case were the par
emit birds in evidence. They did not
give their secret away by setting up
the hue and cry that nesting birds us1-
ally set up on such occasions. finally

ed near by. with food in> their beaks,
which they finally swallowed, as my
stay was prolonged. And the nests,
both on level with my eye, were APP
parently filed only with motionless
mass Of blush mold. AS gently
touched them, instead of four or five
heads with open mouths springing up,
the young only settled lower In the
nest and disposed themselves in a
headless, shapeless mass. The phoebe
is evidently very cautious bird,
though no birds are more familiar

Real Founders Of Russian Music.

The old saying that a man must de-
vote his whole life to one thing to be-
come really great finds curious ex-
ception in the founders of the new Rus
sian music. The most brilliant men in
this work all originally followed other
lines. Tschaikowsky was a lawyer;
Caesar Cui was professor of fortifica-
tons in the Military Academy of St.
Petersburg and is today lieutenant gen
eral of Russian engineers; Borodine
was physician; Rimsky Korsakov
was an officer in the Russian navy;
Balaieff was timber merchant; Nous

A call has been issued for second con-
ference Of citizens Of the county, to be
held Monday. Dec. 2o. in Elkton, for the
purpose of considering legislation desired
at the hands Of the forthcoming General
Assembly.
While the first conference was not very
largely attended. those present showed
their interest in county affairs and gen.
eral exchange Of ideas was had which
were helpful in outlining some changes
that win be more fully discussed at the
next meeting.
Among these is a proposed change in
the County Commissioner law whereby
the county would be divided. into three
Commissioner Districts and the term Of
each Commissioners made three years,
with one Commissioner elected every year.
BY this plan there would be two hold-over.
or experienced Commissioners on the
Board at III times. who would be familiar
with the county affairs, and public bust
ness would not be interrupted by every
election.
Another matter that will be discussed
is that Of a new Court House for our
county.
It is hoped there will be representa-
tive turnout from every section Of the
county, as every citizen owes it to him
self to give some attention to public
affairs and also give his representatives
some idea, at least, Of what is expected
of them when they go to the Legislature.

SWEET POTATOES IN JAPAN.
One Of the Three Things There Native
Women Really Love.

Women Really Love.
The sweet potato seems to have
emigrated from Csiina via the Loo
Choo islands to Japan. Nearly two
centuries ago Aoki Konyo recommend
ed to the shotgun the cultivation Of the
sweet potato all over the empire. In
grateful memory of the benefactor
there now stands over Aoki's grave a
monument with this unique inscrip-
ton, 1.-THE potato professor"
One Of the distinguishing features
Of Tokyo is the sweet potato bakeries,
where, during the colder months, hot
potatoes prove a godsend to many.
Around these potato shops the poorer
children crowd with their coppers,
anxious for the morsel which is to
them what milk chocolate is to chill
dren Of the west. Rumor has it that
there are but three things the Japa-
nese woman really ives pumpkin.
theater going and sweet potato
At present there are more than 1000
potato ovens in Tokyo, and the sale of
roast potatoes annually totals more
than 100000 yen. In no country in
the world can the poor people get pure,
wholesome food more conveniently and
economically than in Japan. Whether
one gets a box Of rice with pickles and

Maryland Congressman For Public
Ownership OF Telephone Lines.

Representative David j. Lewis, Of
Maryland, has formally launched his
fight for Government purchase and oper-
alton Of telephones as part of the postal
system by introducing resolution in the
House directing that steps be taken for
Federal acquisition of the network OF
telephone lines by January /, 1915. The
acquisition Of farmers lines and the tele-
graph system are not provided for in the
resolution.
Mr.. Lewis follows up his resolution
with speech presenting the conclusions
of his inquiry into Government owner
ship problems and the reasons why be
thinks this country should take over the
wire lines.
The resolution recites that 'sthe con-
veyance Of communications is a postal
function and has been vested by the Con-
stitutiou in the Government of the United
States with the object Of providing the
people with the cheapest and most ex-
tensive service feasible. The postal rates
for the conveyance of communications by
letter in the United States are the lowest
in the world, while the rates of commune
cation by electricity through private
agencies are among the highest--the
Telegram costing more than twice the
local telephone communication, twice
loug-distance communication from four
to six times the postal rates prevailing
elsewhere
Congressman Lewis expects to have as
hard eight to get the adoption of this
public reform as he had in forcing action
on the parcel post question. bnt he is q
man Of great determination and mn
doubtedly will win in the end.

TT seems that designers who en-
1 deavor to prepare styles which they
hope will become fashions, have
worked along the most independent
lines. There is no apparent uniform
ity OF ideas in the construction OF cos
tunes, except the geneHal approval
given to narrow skirts and big waists.
Accept these two features, look TO the
Orient for inspiration, and you may
evolve styles to suit yourself. There
is no hint to variety and eccentricity.
The Turkish pantaloon skirt of
heavy and supple black satin which is
shown here is an approved model. II
is a picturesque but not o graceful
garment, made TO hang about a slim
figure. And IL takes slimness to the
point OF attenuation TO wear drapery
on these lines, with any success. But
the idea of the pantaloon as suggest
ed here brought in q variety OF skirts
with drapery arranged at the sides in
this fashion.
In the majority Of similar skirts
less material is used, and in a simpler
arrangement. The front is plain and
there is no need Of the lace under
floUnce at the bottom. Wide fabrics
are cut in such a way that the skirt
is narrow at the bottom, draped in
hanging folds about the hips, and
finished with a plain panel at the
back. This Interpretation Of the
pantaloon skirt is more pleasing, more
simple and far more popular than the
original development, which came
from the Callot salon and which is
pictured in the illustration.
The little Turkish jacket worn with
the skirt is in blue velvet. II is
