ADJUSTMENTS.
Columbia.

The Columbia Players put the "well'
in Mrs. Lefingwell's Boots" last night
before an audience which included the
President and Mrs. Wilson and which
was enthusiastic in it's applause. The
boots made so conspicuous by the title
given to this Augustus Thomas sue
cess furnished the complications for
the plot that held keen interest for tb ,
three acts. The jumblng Of snow
storm, frost-bitten ear a manikin and
a table water fountain with a bug in
1t" were the properties" used to help
furnish the many laughs which the
capacity audience enjoyed. At times
the play is sheer foolishness. with a
sole object to promote mirth, at other
times it becomes a serious presenta-
ton Of the solution of one phase of
the criminal problem. 1t is this sud-
den variation from the mirthful to the
serious that produces the many de-
lightful and diverting surprises.
The DR.. 4ienry Rumsey. osteopath, of
George Barber is one OF the gem por-
trayals of the performance He presents
much drollery in the deafness with which
the elderly doctor is afflicted. but never
let's 1t approach the burlesque: nor does
he let 1t creep into. the serious passages
with which he is intrusted in the proper
development Of the plot.
Miss Helen Holmes. after a weeks alb
sence, returns to the cast for the portray
al Of the suspicious. jealous but loving
Mabel Ainslee. In a role that does not
present great opportunities she shows
her art by keeping the part in its relative
proportion. AS last week, Mr.. Van Buren,
has big opportunities as the self-sac critic
ing, ong-suffering Walter Corbin. Again
are his ease and stage business In evil
making DOrtrav9l effective
Dorothy Bernard continues her excel
lent work in her vivacious presentation
OF the tipsy Nora. whose frost-bitten
ear received treatment that seemed to
depend for it's effectiveness upon odor of
the liniment applied. Stanley James. too,
Is congenially cast as Orton the butler,
who is at the Bonner household only
temporary" Everett Butterfield gives
the proper suggestion of "scheming' to
the near-villain role Of Dick, whose brain.
like the ia BILE fountain. had bug in
it."
Miss Jessie Giendinning was a sweet
and gracious Mrs. Thomas Bonner, the
hostess of the snowbound party, and
Miss Carrie Thatcher and Willard Rob
ertson entirely satisfactory as the bellig-
erent Lefingwells. Miss Frances Younge,
John NJ. Kline, John Ellis and Arthur
Ritchie give finished portrayals of minor
roles.
Two exquisite stage settings were the
objects of special commendation last
night. AS the curtain went up on the
handsomely appointed dining room Of the
Bonner home on the evening of a "swelP'
dinner party. the audience Immediately
showed it's enthusiastic admiration by a
storm Of applause. The studio, where
the other two scenes of the play are laid,
was as artistically furnished And il
should be mentioned that both the table
fountain and the manikin. both important
laugh makers. played their roles per-
fectly.

The Pisgah forest tract in North Car
olina, part of the famous Vanderbilt

by the government, according to deci-
sion of the national forest commission.
The commission inspected the tract three

purchase, it was decided best not to take
the tract"
The commission has approved for pur-
chase two tracts. one Of $500 acres IN

forget and forgive the keynote
of his speech last night former Vice
President Charles w. Fairbanks. who
was given close attention, delivered an
address at a banquet rendered him by
800 republican leaders of Nebraska. The
gathering was fairly representative Of
both wings Of the party in this state, and
good fellowship prevailed.
Mr.. Fairbanks reviewed the achieve
ments of the party at some length, de-
failing the result Of republican legisla-
ton, mentioning particularly the inter-
state commerce law and the Sherman
clared, had served to protect the people
against railroads and industrial monopoly
as has no other legislation ever enacted.
Forecast of the Future.
Speaking of the future, he said:
Now and then we have heard it said
that the republican party has ended its
career that it is party of the past.
ra ther than of the future. Such
prophecy Is not new: We have heard 1t
proclaimed in other days.
circumstances which unfortunately led
to party division year ago no longer
exist. The democratic party is in full
power and it can be overthrown only by
the united effort Of the great body of
those who believe in the soundness and
efficacy of republican principles. Repub-
liacns-that is to say, those who believe
in the political doctrine of the republican
party-are largely in the mapority
the country. / have no doubt
whatever that the logic of events will
bring them into cooperation again. This
desired result cannot be ac-
by coercion of any sort: ii
must come about naturally by the exer-
else of a spirit of tolerance and patience:
