CLUBDOM
Concerning Adam and Eve.

The old but ever interesting problem
concerning the ancient mistakes of
Adam and Eve forms the very clever
basis of the blackface farce comedy,
Who Wuz to Blame?" written by Miss
Minnette C. Seches, which win be pro-
duced at the Nineteenth Century club
Friday evening at s:15 under the aus
pieces Of the Maccabees.
The story OF the comedy Is built about
an old -fashioned "whoop 'er up negro
camp meeting. with the old deacon wax
ing warmer each moment on who wuz
to blame, Adam or Ever" The antics
of one of his congregation, a choco-
~late-colored vampire, leads him strong
.ly to believe that quite naturally Eve
caused all the trouble.
A number of clever songs and other
features add to the pleasure of the en-
tertainment, which has been ably di-
rected by Nine. Amalia Ritterband.
Feature additions to the splendid pro-
gram of the evening are Mrs. Allida
Black, Mrs. Charles Cason, we'll known
as the ragtime girl, and Mr.. Fred Law

It is the conclusion almost unanl- nous among historians that George Washington was the only man among the Fathers of the Republic ntteo mentally and temperamentally to car rv the revolution to victory. The Ire mendous burden not only of creatihs and organizing an army from ra" anu undisciplined volunteers in the race of il strong enemy, but also or or ganizing the patriotism of the country through voIuminous correspondence with the governors and leading men of the colonies and of maintaining both organizations through weary v.ars of military disasters, political bickerings and petty jealousies' would have crumpled the back of any other man the revolution produced.

Why eeorqe Washington Was Not Formally Made President onth
 April 30, in 17ae.

Although March 4 is the date set by law for the ceremony of the inaugura- ton of our presidents, there was one occasion when the rule was not op- served. for George Washington was in- augurated on April 30, 17S9, instead or March 4.
 When the Constitution had been ratified by the requisite number or states the Continental congress by resolution of September Is, l1oo' set the first Wednesday of the following March (March 4, 17S9) as the tune for commencing proceedings" under the new form of government. Owing to delays of various kinds such as difficulties of travel, etc., mem hers of the first congress were very slow to assemble In New York, and { quorum of both houses was not oD tained until April 6. The counting ol the electoral vote, the notification O Washington of his election to his hlgl office. and his journey from Noun vernon to New York took until Apr 23. and his inauguration was set 10 April 30.
 His term of office was, however, cor srrued as having commenced on Marc the date set by the Continental COT qress for the inauguration of the ne' government, and so it came to an eh on March 4, 1793, although it iacke nearly two months of the four year nrovided for by the Constitutions

AGED MAN VICTIM
OF COWARDLY
MURDERERS
John Shea, 55 Years Old,
Robbed and Terribly Mu-
tilated by Two Thugs;
Still at Large.

John Shea, SIS years old, was found
by owen Murphy of 1886 East Mer-
curry street fatally blugeoned, about
Z O'Clock last night in his cabin at
1886 East Park street. He died at the
hospital a few minutes before mid
night.
That the motive was robbery is
the opinion of the police. The slayer
must have been in hurry as an
empty purse was found on the floor,
also Il lather's hatchet, with which
Shea had been beaten, was found in
a coal bucket. The police are also
of the opinion that the two men who
held up and beat a second hand deal
er on South Arizona street the same
afternoon are the ones who murdered
Shea.
That the police department is do
ing it's best to run to earth the slay-
ers is shown by the orders of Jere
Murphy to "get the murderers at all
costs.
The general public does not feel
safe with dangerous murderers like
this at large and the sooner they are
brought to justice the sooner the peo'
pie of the city will feel safe.
