Mount Vernon tell of the amply filled
cellar and buffet, OF decanter for
vinous liquids devised by General
Washington, of the palpable fact that
his home was the most visited pri-
vate residence in the United States,
perhaps more than that of any mon
arch of the old world; that he set be-
fore his guests great variety of
wines and spirits, imported and do
nestle, much of the latter products
OF his own estate under the direction
of his own distiller, The story that
he shipped negro slave to Jamaica
to be bartered by a British skipper
for a hogshead OF rum is we'll authen-
ticated. 1t is also remarked that
while General Washington allowed a
reasonable portion of alcoholic bev-
erage to each of his slaves and hired
men, he was rigidly intolerant of
drunkenness.
When Washington Most Wicked.
Reverting to the period of the mi
tial temperance movements among
congressman in Washington, an ex-
animation of contemporary publica-
tons and other evidences available in
the archives of the library of congress
show that Washington of today is
almost a redeemed and disenthralled
new Jerusalem compared to what it
was along about the first half of the
last century. In those wildcats days
of the capital city Washington must
indeed have been bad, bad town.
A few months before the first meet
ing OF the Congressional Temperance
society, the Rev, ], H. Danforth
preached a sermon at the Fourth
Presbyterian church on Ninth street,
which was published in pamphlet
form, in which he stated that Wash
ington. with a population of 10000,
was consuming 100000 gallons OF ar
dent spirits year; that the city had
2l6 licensed drinking places, taverns
and wholesale and retail shops, at

First Congressional Temperance
Wave.

Many of that meeting of fifty years
ago had forgotten, if they knew, that
it was not the first temperance move
ment among congressman. In one of
the collections of miscellaneous
pamphlets in the library of congress
is a report of meeting of the Con-
gressional Total Abstinence society,
held in the hall of the house Feb
ruary "a, 1872 But even that was
not the first such organization or
meeting of members interested in
temperance. The Congressional Tenn
perance society, the first of its kind,
was organized in 1888, and its first
meeting was held in the hall of the
house February "a, 1884 Informed of

ADJUSTMENTS

Theater-goers Of Grand Forks who
visited New York or Chicago last year
brought back wonderful descriptions
of the illuminated Runways" which
were being used by the Messrs. Shu-
bert in their World Of Pleasure" and
by Florenz zeigfeld in his "Follies.'
They told of the wonderful effect gain
ed by extending a runway out from
the footlights over the middle Of the
theater, on which the members Of the
company danced and sang. Through
the Illuminating of this runway and
the d%arkening Of the stage and thea
ter, the figures Of the performers were
outlined so clearly thai a most start
ling effect was created.
While the success of these run
ways" was most pronounced in New
York and Chicago, they were consid-
cred too heavy and cumberson to be
practicable for the use Of the touring
companies. The result was that the
large shows used their runways while
playing engagements in the big cities,
where the company remained in one
theater for several weeks, but when
they went on tour, they disposed Of
their runway" as the ~proverbial
Mary's lamb did Of its tail, i. e. "left
it behind them"
1t remained for Mr.. Harvey D. Orr
to invent a runway for his Million
Dollar Doll" that had all the attri-
butes of the Zeigfeld and Shubert run
ways, with the additional advantage
of practicability for touring compan-
les. This selfsame runway is one of
the many features in THE Million
Dollar Doll' which will be the attrac-
ton at the Metropolitan on Saturday,
