STAGE
HAS A FAST
MUSICAL

The 'Sepia Vagabonds," with
a full cast of colored players,
played to a crowd that filled
every seat at the Strand Thea
ter last night and occupied
much of the standing room. In
announcing the coming Of this
attraction, Jimmie Lake per-
sonally guaranteed the excel
lence Of the program. This critic
has witnessed many colored at
fractions in years of reviewing
and as yet has failed to see a
more entertaining bill than is
presented by this company.
There are no stars on the
roster-or perhaps they are all
stars. At any rate, each and
every one of the players occu-
pies the front Of the stage
sometime during the perform
ance and wrings generous APP
plause from the crowd with
his or her own particular talents.
The jazz motif predominates,
but there is sweet melody Of the
Southland that appeals with
its charm.
Chief among the entertainers
are Julia Moody, Alex Love1oy,
Eloise Bennett, Elizabeth Smith,
Shrimp" Brook, The Great
Day" Singers, The Jubilee"
Quartet and the jungle"
Dancers.
Manager Lake announced
from the stage he has made
great plans to show the fans

soon in support of Maurice

Miss Allan was personally

They were obliged to record in
the French idiom and only a
few who were adept in the Ian

scanned closely by many crit
ical eyes.
city Haul" is melodrama of
politics with the central figure
a mayor of few civic virtues
but well dressed and a fluent
speech maker. One Of the
Broadway managers who is a
close friend considered it a not
too yelled crack at the Gotham
chief executive and refused to
permit it to be. shown in his
theater. The producers claim
it is a take-off of an Illinois
chief executive. The under
standing was that when the
play opened last night the
character had been so changed
there was no chance for the
Tammany administration to
take offence over possible snip
ing at its hero.

and Christian Churches was voted
unanimously here yesterday by the
National Council of the Congregational
Churches.
Similar action by the general con-
vention of the Christian Church when
it meets next October in Piqua, Ohio,
was predicted by % officials of the
Christian convention who took places
on the speakers platform of the Con-
gregational session Immediately after the
vote.
Actual merger probably will be &C
complished in 1881 The combined
body, it is expected, would be known as
the Congregational-C Christian Churches
of America.
Trust funds of the two organizations
would be administered separately and
branches of the denominations would
be merged gradually. Because of COM
plications presented by trust fund adj
ministration, the new denomination
would not be incorporated. each corpo-
rate organization retaining its identity
for that purpose.
Hartford, Conn, tentatively was ap-
proved as the meeting place of the 1881
session, although Seattle, Wash, has
presented an invitation, and final de-
ciSion will be left to a committee.
The biennial meeting of the Congre-
gationalists stood ready to adjourn to-
day. Final committee reports and clean
up business was on the program.

Hair Figured as New
Terror to Criminals

Possibilities OF detecting crime, or
solving mysteries by stray bits OF hair
even beyond anything imagined by
writer's of detective stories, we're de-
scrlbed recently to the MedicO-Legnl
society of London, England, by Dr..
John Glnister, Jr., of that city.
BY the work of years Doctor Glaister
has collected private "hnir mu-
scum" containing more than 1900
different specimens Of hair from hun
dreds OF kinds of animals and from
races OF mankind In every part OF the
world.
A system OF measuring and record.
Ing the sizes, shapes and other char
ncters OF these hairs under the micro
scope has been devised, much as 20.
llcemen classify and record finger
prints
A single hair dropped by n criminal
or clutched by the victim Of murder
may be enough to identify, under IA.
vorable circumstances, the perpetrator
OF crime.
The inner end OF loose hair In
dIcates, Doctor Glalster has found,
whether It fell out naturally or was
pulled out. The condition Of the cen.
trail core # the hair tells something
OF the age OF Its original owner.
One rals kind OF hair. consisting of
horny material like the substance OF
finger nails, has been found only on
two creatures-on the splny anteater
and on the elephants tall. Most
kinds of hair are slightly oval when
cut through, but the giraffe has hairs
that are almost exactly circular.
