"YES, PEOPLE

But We Don't, You Know, Because We Are a Very Wonderful and Superior Set and Know What We Are Talking About Every Day in the Week.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The world rolls on. People change. Others die, get married, move away i or vote for Roosevelt. But Richmond goes on forever. That is, in the same old way. We may present the illusion of progress. But it's a vain dream. We're just the same we were fifty, eu, ,.,.., .Jt, '"i - Miss Affie McVickar says three ' years. ! Miss McVickar, known to the Rich - mond public as the charming young j woman who was manager of the Gen-; nett theater for several years, is a diligent reader of the Palladium which she receives daily. In a letter just received from Miss McVickar by the writer, the former comments entertainingly upon certain phases of theatrical life in this city, called out by some general remarks relative to more or less interesting happenings in this near-metropolis. "So the Richmond public has not changed one iota," writes Miss McVickar. "Still clamoring for good shows and then not going to them. "I was so amused at one of your articles a short while back about the rumour that Christie McDonald would not appear. "Amusing, because it doesn't concern me any more, but 'believe me" I experienced all the sensations of rage j and exasperation when I was there. ror i m not exaggerating when I say that in my three years in Richmond that same report was circulated about j each and every star who appeared ; there. "i tried my best to discover where it came from, but never could." "And so they didn't go to see 'Bunty!' "Here in New York you couldn't buy a seat for weeks ahead. We didn't see it because we knew it was quite absolutely useless to ask for seats. "It's a perfect shame that the Richmond public should be as it is, for your railroad connections are so good5 that If the people would only patronize them, you'd get everything. As it is you only get what you do because of your position on the map. "But you know all about that as well as I do." This commentary is not only interesting but significant. For it comes, not from a mere observer, but from an expert. From the inside. Miss McVickar, when managing the Gennett, brought to this city, through Harry Sommers, the theater's lessee, some of the best theatrical attractions that have ever been seen in this city. The Imperial Russian Ballet, for one thing, and the Russian Symphony or chestra for another. With such stars as Minnie Maddern Fiske, Otis Skinner, James K. Hackett, Burr Mcintosh and others of their ilk. And Sommere gave it up after three years. It was a losing proposition. Mr. Murray finds the public no more responsive. And yet there are some of these wise ones running round and saying "take it from me, we know all about it ENFORCED A RULING 500 Tinsel Cards Were Held Back by Post Office. More than 500 tinsel postcards were held up at the local postoffice because they were not in an envelope or because they were unsealed when placed In an envelope. The tinsel and other decorations on the cards are poison and often infect the employes' hands, causing blood poisoning. It is a violation, of the postal regulations to sendthese cards through the mails. Fewer "nixie" packages were sent through the post ofice this year than any other year known to post office clerks. Very few packages were missent. Some of the clerks today were busy locating the right addresses of missent postal cards. Postmaster Haas announced that any merchant desiring parcel post maps or guides may procure them by sending a seventy-five cent money order to chief clerk of the post office department at Washington. D. C. WOMAN TO FACE CHARGE OF MURDER (National News Association) CHICAGO, Dec. 26. Charged with having murdered her husband, Mrs. Harriet M. Burham was to face trial today. Her husband, Herbert E. Burnham, died from the effects of a bullet wound in the back. The sta'e alleges that the weman did the shooting on the night of June 10 and that after she shot she calmly went back to bed. When the police arrived she refused to get up and dress. Later, in her night clothing, she was taken to the hospital where her husband lay, and later still to the police station. There her clothes were brought to her. The woman asserts her husband was shot during a struggle to gain possession of a revolver with wnieh he had threatened to kill her. XMAS PRESENTS Lonnie Cole, Charles Conners and Frank Rhoe were arrested Tuesday erening for public intoxication. They were arraigned in police court on Christmas morning, given a severe lecture by XIayor Zimmerman, and their sentences suspeaded.

"You're being fooled. "Nothing good ever comes to this town. "It's the number three companies, the understudies and the second-raters." "And on what authority do you base ' your statements?" "What authority! What do you mean! Do you intend to insult me? Do I I " w" '",c,uaj 1 ! vnn th nV I know a thine- nr t wn ?

And nothing more so than these lo cal wisacres who, Hamlet-like, stalk the quarry from the Gennett to the j .uuiittji auu ruuuu me corner 10 me Westcott hotel, on a still hunt for a local sensation. With the determination to puncture the irridescent bubble and show up the rotten theatrical system as it is in Richmond, Indiana. It is a noble, nay, an altrurian aim. Hut what a waste of the life's essence. Which, if but turned to other perhaps weightier local matters, might effect huge, vast, overwhelming reforms. "Such as" removing the car tracks i from the Glen. Which strangely enough, still ornameni our Pans And was it not sworn by all the gods these would be torn ruthlessly from their moorings and cast into the offing? Even so. And still they stick. Or getting up a subscription to build another arch in the Glen. Or inaugurating a free water-works i system, or municipal gas at ten cents i a hundred or a system for laying the dust all the year round, or an equalization of tax assessments or honesty in the courts, or a variety of other things. The truth is that too much energy is wasted on inessentials. People sit round jabbing our various' systems full of holes but when brought to bat won't lift a finger to remedy them. If you really are sincere you'll lend a hand when the opportunity offers. But, instead, you supinely retreat or run to cover or intimate that while you really have been interested and recognize the evils and so on and on and on you still are not in a position to take any definite stand in the matter because Sure "because." And the "because." covers up all your weakness, all your cowardice, all your pusillanimity, all your mean, sneaking, backpedaling, contemptible selfishness. "Dear me!" said the other person. "I'm afraid you didn't have a nice Christmas." "I never have a nice Christmas!" growled the misanthrope. "I did," said the other person, "I got eight boxes of candy and ten pairs of silk stockings." LANGFORD IS WINNER Knocks Out Sam McVey in the Thirteenth Round. (National News Association) SIDNEY, N. S. W. Dec. 26.

The two negroes appeared evenly matched during the Irst five rounds, but after that Langford showed better condition and easily landed the quietus in the thirteenth round. STREET STORIES Street Commissioner Genn is superstitious. This morning when "he came into the city building he met a crosseyed man and lost no haBte in doffing his hat and spitting therein. When asked as to the reason, he explained that only this action can keep a man from breaking his neck or falling victim to a similar mishap. "This superstition originated with the Indians," said Genn. When he was told that Indians never wore hats, he passed around cigars and admitted the treat was on him. NICHOLSON FINED FOR INTOXICATION George Nicholson was fined $5 and costs for public intoxication in police court yesterday morning. Nicholson went to the home of his parents in West Richmond and demanded to see his children who are staying with his parents. He was drunk and when refused the privilege of seetng them, he terrorized the members of the household and was chasing them about the house with a knife when arrested.

New clews in the mystery of the murder of Joseph H. Logue, killed in his downtown office a week ago were discovered by the detectives working on the caBe today. One of the new threads was furnished by a man whose name the police withheld. He is said to have known Logue for many years and to have been familiar with the diamond brokers' business habits. Another clew is a stickpin found by the body. Mrs. Logue says the pin was not the property of her husband. The pin bears an enamel likeness of a swimming duck on a gold background, and is set with a variety of peculiar small stones. Keep the Armholes Down. It is strange that not one person in a thousand knows how to help a man on with his coat or a lady with her jacket They all make the mistake of holding the garment too high, especially the last sleeve. They lift it so that a man nearly dislocates his arm reaching for it. The more fntilely he grabs and claws and lurches for it the higher they hold it until the wretched victim would have to get on a pair of stilts to find the armhole. The proper way' Why, hold the coat so that the armholes are as low down as the man's waist, taking care to keep the skirt of the garment off the floor, of course. If there is any straggle to find the last armhole. drop It still lower. Never raise it. Drop it until his hand slips into It naturally. Emily Bronte. G. K. Chesterton has added his meed of praise to Emily Bronte, the woman writer, who of all others has perhaps won most unstinted praise from men.

IS BY THE COMMONER Bryan Says Reactionaries in Congress Plan to Pack Committees. (National News Association) LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 26 Charging that reactionary Democrats in the senate and house are planning to fasten themselves on important committees William Jennings Bryan in his "Commoner" today warns the new Democratic congress on the "blight of seniority," saying in part: "The Democratic party is going to have another struggle in both senate and house over committee assignments and it is again threatened with the blight of seniority. That is it will be asked to put the ambition and in terests of individuals above the wel fare of the party and the good of the country. The progressive Democrats will be in the majority In the senate caucus. Will they allow a reactionary minority to man the ship? Will they allow length of service to outweigh sympathy with the progressive cause? ' If it were a personal matter the new senators might prefer to yield to the older ones, but a man who acts In a representative capacity is not at lib erty to be courteous at the expense of his constituency. The Democrats of the senate owe it to the party to make the senate organization represent the prevailing sentiment of the party and thus enable it to work in harmony with the administration."

76TH BIRTHDAY OF

L G. DEWEY High Diplomatic and Naval Officers Paid Him Their Respects Today. (National New Association) WASHINGTON. D. C Dec. C6 An almost continuous stream of messengers climbed the stone steps of a handsome residence at the corner of 16th and K streets today, while thrmifh the mrfl rtt Ihd hlr hmiiM there Passed at freauent Intervals men whose furrowed brows and dignified bearing stamped them as diplomats, judges, senators or high officers of the army or nary. The house, as described by the megaphone men on the "rubber-neck" wagons, is "the home of Admiral George Dewey, hero of the battle of Manila bay." Admiral Dewev reached today and was the recipient of a flood of congratulations, oral and written, from his many friends in official as well as private life. The Admiral and his family remained at home the greater part of the day, and gave a cordial welcome to the many friends who called to pay their respects. Admiral Dewey is in good health, considering his years and arduous services, and is still able to attend to his duties as president of the naval general board. He is rather proud of the fact that he is seventy-five years old. for few men have reached his age retaining their good looks, the vigor of mental and physical youth, and. career early, and could he live his life over again, he says, he would not change the course it has taken. After a course at the Norwich Military academy, supplementing the valuable personal instruction of his father, who was one of the best known physicians of his dir. the future sea fichter entered the Naval academy at the age of sixteen. Immediately upon leaving the academy, four years later, in 1858, he was ordered to active service and. lacking only a few months' space of , Admiral Farrarut. from 18C1 to 1863. in the Mississippi river squadron. He happened to be at his home in M outpel ler when Fort Sumter was fired upon. One week later he obtained bis commission as lieutenant and was ordered to the west gulf squadron. Admiral Farragut conceived a great likj ing for the dashing and coolheaded j young officer and distinguished him by making him iirst lieutenant oi one of his gunboats. The story of how Captain Dewey i . , . familiar to all. known, however, is that of Dewey's "captains" in the Manila bay engagei ment. who in later years made it a , habit to join in a dinner as the Admiral's guests on the battle anniver , .... .. , . sary, the only one still living Is Rear Admiral Asa Walker, whose home Is in i . ! Annapolis. For the past twelve years Admiral Dewey has held his present position as head of the general board, the highest in the gift of the navy, and has made his headquarters in Washington. Though seeking always to avoid publicity. Admiral Dewey has becom a familiar figure in the capital through his daily drives through the parks in an open carriage. While he Is not quite so robust as he was before his illness of a year ago he may be said to be in good health, and he continues to per form his duties as president of the general board with as keen Interest as officers young enough to be his sons. . His position keeps him in touch with all that the navy does. It is work that he likes; ir keeps his faculties sharpened; it gives him a sest In life. Metallic Sympathy.
