CLUBS.

There has just been organized at
Carpio a "Forty-D club
Its object is the promotion of better
farming, and the development of the
of the community general
ly. That object is a praiseworthy one.
and we have no doubt that the ener-
getic men of that territory will do
good work and secure good. results.
Without any desire to be critical of
the new club or it's acts, however. We
believe that the name selected is no,
the best that could be chosen. in tina,
It's use is likely t. create a false i'm
preston in some quarters as to tho
real purpose of the organization.
1t was quite customary until recent
~ to use in names Of similar organ
:zations arbitrary figures relating 10

unfortunately these names became

SOME LIKE ONIONS

What are you? That's the question.
You are a combination OF animal. veg
etable, and mineral. That's sure. You
may have the pleasing aroma OF the
peach or strawberry. have the charac-
teristics OF the noble horse. and have
iron as your dominant ingredient-which
is all very fattering-or, on the other
hand, you may be a dog or a pig. may
have the scent OF the cabbage or the
onion and be made up principally OF lead.
This is all according to William Wind
sor LII. B., Phi. D., the teacher and
principal disciple Of 'Vitosophy." a new
doctrine that teaches that every man.
woman, and child resembles in his or
her physical makeup some unit of the
animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdom.

Boats Enough for All.

The demand ELECTED by the Titanic ca

ship should carry boats sufficient for the
accommodation OF all on board was COM
Piled with by the House or Representa-
tives on Saturday. when the Alexander
bill to that effect was passed unanimous
ly. There ought not be any doubt about
its becoming a law before the session
ends. Every sensible persons under

restricted by the conditions under which
the necessity for its use might arise.

ice. To launch il would then be an eX-
tremely hazardous, IL not an impractic-

That was why several witnesses who
appeared at the London inquest express
ed the opinion that a compulsory multi
plication OF small boats on the ocean liners
would not be expedient or desirable, and
why Lord Mersey's report made no rec
ommendation on this point But while
lifeboats may not be Of much use. they
are of some use. The Titanic disaster
impressively demonstrated that much.

Effect of Reading Good Books.

From the PittsbIrg Sun.
One OF the instructors OF the county
teachers institute. held in Carnegie
Hall, made the remark that "a person
can never become cultured until he reads
good books" He's right. Books contain
the observations of their writer's on life.
In a measure all books are autobio-
graphies. They are the records OF how
life was found and reflected by certain
individuals. You have found such to be
the case in your own life and you profit
by that knowledge. Reading shows you
what others found and how they profited
by It. Franklin found that disputations
often resulted in enmities. and also that
IL one talked dogmatically he was less
likely to get light from the minds of
others: they would think he knew 1t
ALL or was too biased in his views to
learn. So he preferred to take the atti-
tude OF the humble inquirer" Socrates
also preferred asking questions. Just OBJ
servations on life. useful observations.
too. They are what one must look for
in books. the thoughts of the writer,
and IL he be a learned writer the
thought of the age. That is why the
Bible has such a wonderful influence and
never grows old. 1t Is filled with obser-
yations on life. which never changes:
1t Is the Individual who changes through
increasing knowledge of life, and that
Is why It Is well for him to read good
books continually.

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

There is something very pleasing about
the bill at Chase's this week. II one is
inclined toward the athletic there Is
something to amuse, and II one cares
for detective plots there Is a hum
mer" OF a sketch OF this kind. Then
there is lots of music. a performing
horse. and a lot OF humor. 1t would be
difficult TO duplicate the bill of week
ago: but this weeks entertainment will
please probably as many persons. The
excellency of the bills at Chase's is
drawing the crowds, which was evil
denced yesterday by another almost rec
ord-breaking attendance.
There is a difference of opinion con-
corning amusement, but most persons
will admit that Detective Keen" as
presented by Daniel Frohman's players,
is the bright and high spot of the bill.
1t moves rapidly and surely. is staged
almost perfectly, and, like all the pro-
ductions of either of the Frohmans, IL
strikes sure and has few notes that are
false. 1t seems to the writer to be the
last word in vaudeville sketches Too
much credit cannot be given the cast,
which is exceptionally well balanced,
with Arthur Hoops at the head.
The Courtney sisters are featured with
THE Earl and the Girls" Laskey pro-
duction. 1t is about as frothy as most
of such things, and the one redeeming
feature of the act is the singing of the
sister team. The music is good and the
piece has a lot OF novelties, but II is
light when compared with many other
acts of a similar kind
Percy Wenrich, who writes song
when he is waiting for cour at his din
ner, Is on the bill. and with him Is
Dolly Connolly. Mr.. Wenrich plays
while Miss Connolly sings Mr.. Wen
richs songs. The team is a good one
and got real more applause OF the spon-
taneous kind than any act on the bill.
Kitty Traney, who Is billed as a Paris
ian equestrienne, has novelty In which
she drives an educated pony, juggles the
cart on her chin, and shows some WE'LL
trained dogs to great advantage.
The three Mori brothers. a Japanese
juggling team, is the curtain raiser. The
Japs have at last learned an art which
has long been the stock in trade of
American and European acrobatic teams.
1t is to mix comedy with their physical
and skilled performance. The Mori
brothers do this and make the feature a
real entertaining one.
Tony Hunting, formerly a member of
the four Huntings. and Corinne Francis,
have an act called THE Love Prescrip-
tion." Miss Francis sings well and Mr..
Hunting in the old days was an excellent
comedian. The act should be made bet
ter with the exceptional talents of
both of the performers.
The Kinemacolor pictures were of
scenes in Italy and were exceptionally
beautiful.

THE NEW LYCEUM.
Oriental Burlesquera.

The offering at the New Lyceum this
week is the Oriental Burlesquers. a
capable organization presenting two bur-
lesques, AT the Costumers'' and
"Juarez" sandwiching an olio of more
than ordinary merit. The leading comedy
roles are taken by VIII H. Ward, popu-
lar German comedian, and that he Is
the same hearty favorite Is attested by
the almost continuous laughter which
greets his efforts. He Is ably assisted by
by Messrs Dempsey, Burton and Benn.
and the feminine roles are enacted by
Misses Howe. Harvard and Ramsey.
Miss Demilt has many opportunities for
sourbrette work of which she makes the
most. In the olio. Miss Grace Harvard
sings popular ragtime. Jack Dempsey en-
tertains with some excellent dancing. and
Miss Gertie Demilt. with her inimitable
smile. won her way into the hearts Of
her hearers by her vocal efforts.
The best thing OF the olio. is the sketch
when the Devil Comes to Town."
played by Mr.. Ward and company. con-
sisting of Mrs. w. II. Ward. Dot Hill
pert, Del Benn, and Mamie Gardner. This
playlet gives Mr.. Ward opportunity to
show his ability as a character delinea-
tor. to present serious, capable work. and
the rounds of applause which followed
the dropping of the curtain on the final
scene were well merited. Mrs. Ward s
work, too. is noteworthy. IL 1t be pos
sible to single out one above another in
so well balanced a company. 1t Is such
work as this which Is steadily making
burlesque more popular with the public.
Junie McCree is responsible for the
book of "Juarez'' the second burletta.
and the comedy lines he has placed there.
in the care of such a capable comedian
as Mr.. Ward guarantees amusement. The
musical numbers are danced and sung
by a good looking, young chorus, well
costumed. and well drilled. On the whole.
patrons of the Oriental Burlesquers will
come away well pleased and entertained.
The usual Country Store" feature was
announced for Friday night.

THE GAYETY.
Bowery BurIcsqucr..

The Bowery Burlesquers opened at the
Cayety Theater yesterday with the best
show of the season. Featuring Eddie
Fitzgerald. Jack Quinn, and Mabelle
Morgan, IL meets the requirements or all
that has been said OF IT. The perform
apce is well balanced. and presents the
best-working set of principals that has
been seen at the Gayety Theater this
year.
Eddie Fitzgerald is the comedian of
the company, and Is without doubt the
superior of any Irish comedian that has
appeared here In many years. He Is a
good singer. an excellent dancer. and
one OF the most versatile musicians that
comes to this city in a comedy role.
His numbers with the piano. violin, and
a reed instrument styled a "Chinese
horn" are the most comical as well as
entertaining that have ever been pre-
sented in Washington.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is ably supported by
Jack Quinn, a very pleasing performer.
who Is the possessor OF a fine tenor
voice. which he uses to advantage In
conjunction with Mr.. Fitzgerald's plano
number. Sammy Brown is one OF the
very best young actors seen at the
Gayety for some time. and as THE
Plain Cothes Man" gives fine imper-
sonation of the amateur detective.
Charley Jansen Is good as a comedy
running mate for Fitzgerald, and is re-
sponsible for many laughs. The female
contingent is probably the best that has
ever been seen at the Gayety. and is
composed of Mabelle Morgan, Edna
Green. and Minnie Lee. three performers
who can sing and dance and who have
fine conception of their parts as ac-
tresses.
To pick the musical hit of the per-
formance would be impossible. as all the
numbers are emphatic successes, and
serve to show the excellent voices Of all
the principals. The chorus Is large. and
contributes largely to the success OF the
performance.
One of the feature acts OF the show is
that OF Keller and Dom, balancers and
jugglers, who handle at one time four
teen bounding balls. This act is really
out OF place in burlesque. and should be
