Patrons of the Garrick know whnt
English comedy is, and how It differs
from other comedy; also that there
are distinctive traits in the English
comedian that are especially good.
These characteristics are found IN

ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE.


There is no doubt about the hit
which the stock company at the Play
house Is making in "Alias Jimmy
Valentine" and it has been a long
time since this masterpiece of Paul
Armstrong has been given such an
excellent Interpretation. The COM
pany is thoroughly capable and the
performance is the best which 1t has
yet given.
Those who have not seen this ia
nous play, ought to do so, for It is dii-
ferent from any other which has been
placed on the stage in recent years
Wilmington has never been given such
treat at popular prices before. The
original scenery is used and the play
has been mounted with attention TO
the most minute detail. There will be
performances each evening and on
/ Saturday afternoon.
Next week. beginning on Tuesday
there is a travelling company at the
house. On Monday the stock
company will present Sweet
Lavender" It is declared that
the play is lust as sweet as its name
implies and it is unquestionably one
of the most successful which was ever
placed upon the stage. The stock
company is thoroughly capable OF
presenting it and there is no doubt
that il will be just as successful as
alias Jimmy Valentine. which Is
being presented this week.
Considerable interest is being taken
lin the appearance of the San Carlo
Grand Opera Co, which will appear az
The PLAYHOUSE on March 19 and 20.

Two District Briefs.

In its brief filed with the joint committee of
Congress which is investigating the fiscal rela-
tons between the United States and the District
of Columbia, the Tax Reform Association con-
tributes almost nothing that is practical that
will aid the committee in reaching just conclu-
sion. In advocating the adoption Of the single
tax the association is no doubt sincere in its be-
lief that this would insure equal distribution
Of the so-called benefits of the Federal govern
ments annual contribution toward the expenses
of the Nations Capital among all of its residents
which it proclaims its object. So far as this
feature of the associations brief is concerned the
Congressional committee is merely asked to de-
eide upon the soundness of the single tax theory,
in support of which no new arguments are ad-
vanced.
The further recommendations of the associ-
alton for complete separation of national and
municipal functions, with separate disbursements
a sharing of expenses in proportion to the rea-
tive value of property under national and private
ownership, takes US back some forty years to the
time when many of the countrys wsest statess
men wrestling with these very propositions,
cluded that they were impractical and adopted the
halfand-half principle just and equitable to the
people of the District and the whole country
They found it impossible to devise intelligent
system of separate accounts and the very brief
of the Tax Reform Association reveals insur-
mountable difficulties in the way of such separa-
ton now. The mere contemplation of the compli-
cations. the mistakes, the quarrels, and the pro-
tests that would inevitably grow out of any such
arrangement is bewildering. The interests and
the activities of the Federal government and the
District of Columbia cannot be separated without
upsetting the very foundation upon which tho seat
of the government is established here. What it
is hoped to accomplish by such proceeding has
not yet been revealed.
This latest brief contrasts strangely with the
comprehensive and lucid exposition of the whole
subject presented on behalf of the joint citizens
committee of the District of Columbia. The ar
ray of facts and figures contained in that docu-
ment not open to dispute. They are not new,
but merely grouped for the convenience of the
investigators. They prove conclusively the wis.,
dom of those earlier statesmen who devised the
half-and-half principle by showing that it is fair
and equitable today as il was then.
None of those who would destroy that prin-
ciple go so far as to contend that the progress
of the Nations Capital should be limited to the
amount of money it is possible for the residents
of Washington to contribute in taxes, and only
a very few contend that one-half of the expenses
is less than their fair share. 1t is in fact gen

BY r. II. JOHNS.

\ proposition to dispense with the pis-
tol as a part OF a cavalryman's armams Mt
has received an unfavorable report from
the authorities at the War Department
IL has been frequently suggested that
either the pistol. the rife. or the sword
should be dispensed with by the mounted
service. The theory Is often advanced
that a cavalryman Is required to carry
too much equipment and that he really
has no use for three arms. Perhaps
there are officers who believe that the
sword Is practically less useful to the
ca vslryman than any other part Of his
armament. but they have never been
able to secure a very large following in
the mounted service.
In deciding TO retain the pistol a can
vass of the enlisted men in the cavalry
was made by some OF the commanders.
They found that the enlisted men were
pI acticalIy unanimously in favor of re-
tanning the pistol. One Of the veteran
ser-eants declared that IL his company
was ordered into Mexico he would pur-
chase a pistol himself II one was not
issued to him by the government. and
ask for permission to carry 1t. That
cavalrymsn should be armed with rifles
is fully demonstrated by the European
war where both Of the belligerents on
the western frontier dismounted the cav
alrymen and sent them into the trenches
TO fight as infantrymen In scout duty
when the German and the allied armies
came into contact In Belgium. the cavalry
not only used swords but some of them
were armed with Iances
The new automatic pistol which has
recently been issued TO the army is a
more powerful weapon than the rife Of
the civil war. II has a range of 1000
yards although there are very few marks
men who can hit a man with a pistol
AT that range. II will kill at n longer
range than the most expert pistol shot
can hit.
