lished a very comprehensive guide to
general advertisers under the title of
"Briet Manual of Leading Periodicals

of information of value to general a<Q

knowledge of the periodical press of the

engaged \u newspaper advertising.
The "Brief Manual" is Intended for
gratuitous circulation to the general
advertisers in all parts of the country.
Should any of our readers who are
interested in advertising in newspapers
und magazines' fail to receive a com?
plimentary copy of this epitome or the
periodical press, they can secure duo by

JIM CROW CAR LAW.
SOME COMPLICATIONS THAT MAY
GET INTO COURT.
The Baltimore Sun says:
Steamboat companies that are in the
habit of doing business between Bal?
timore and Virginia ports are greatly
embarrassed over the workings of the
"Jim Crow" law which prevails In the
old Commonwealth,
The Virginia law, as Is well known,
provides separate compartments for
white and colored persons in all con?
veyances used tor tne nansportntlon
of both races. The railroad compa?
nies have complied with the law. It
is understood that the whites should
have equally good accommodation as
the colored citizens, and that tlte col?
ored section of the population should
have just as good accommodations as
the whites have. There was to be no
discrimination between the sexes.
All arrangements have been made by
the railroads to fulfill these conditions.
Companies operating through the State
of Virginia have taken the trouble tu
alter their oars, marking the sections
of them "White" and i he other sec?
tion "Colored." Thus each race occu?
pies (he same car, and each, naturally,
gets the same kind of service out of
the railroad company. Once in a
while, if a special train be run, many
of the cars show a placard over i'm:
door reading "White." Other cars
Show no Dlacard at all. Colored per?
sons may enter cars not marked
"White" IC they want to, and bo may
white persons, bm no colored person
may enter a car that is marked
"While."
This arrangement quite covers all the:
requirements of the law. The cars
marked "White" and those not so
marked are exactly the same ns far as
cars go. One Bide gets just as good ser?
vice as the other side gets. The cars
are tin? same and they are eacli attach?
ed to a train drawn by the same loco?
motive. There is ho complaint coming
to anybody?unless the colored people
grow intrusive and insist upon riding In
the same car with the while folk. They
cannot do this, and if they Insist upon
doing it they nre transgressing the
law.
Hut as to the Steamboats. There
comes the rub. It is one tiling to pro?
vide equal accommodations for each
race upon a railroad train and qitile an?
other thing to provide ? mil accommo?
dations upon a steamboat. The rail?
road train can be divided up. as has
been shown, but tlds is not always pos?
sible in a steamboat. Steamboats are
not built that way.
To Illustrate the thing, nil arrest was
made a few days ago of Capt. D. M.
Davis, of a Weems Line boat operating
on the Rappabannock river. He was
charged witli not carrying out the pro?
visions of the Virginia law. which law
practically says that the same provis?
ions must be made for passengers of
both races. Capt. Davis could not
imagine how he was to comply with
the law without putting his boat in
the dry-dock and mnklnsr extensive re?
pairs. So he was Indicted.
Other captains have been Indicted,
too. and a very Interesting point Is B?re
tp enmo up when these cases appear
before a court of law for settlement.

Norfolk on the Roads to Tanner's

'.'Private John Allen." from the in n of
a well-known dramatist has already
proved that It is possible to appeal to
the popular taste without a sacrifice
of the dignity of style nnd artistic con?
sistency which are so prized by every
actor who has made a study of tic
drama In Its higher phases. In por?
traying "John Allen" a hero of the
present era?but none the less a born

training he had with Booth and I'-ar
rett and bis appearance as a star In
company with the late Thomas W.
Kecne, R. D. McLean, Odette Tyler,
Louis James and Kathcrlnc Kldder

JEFFERSON DE ANOEL1S IN "A
ROYAL ROGUE."
Jefferson Do Angelis appear.'*'to, have
scored a big success in his new operatic
comedy. "A Royal Rogue," which was
recently produced for the first time In
Baltimore, and the many admirers of
this really clever comic opera comedian
in ibis city will be glad to know that
he will present his new piece here Mon?
day next. "A Royal Rogue" is not a
comic opera in the strict sense of the
world, and it is a long ways away from
being what is commonly known es a
"musical comedy" It is said the critics
are al a loss just how tip- piece should
he classified. It matters little, anyway,
so long as It 1? good and clean and
bright, and this it is said to lie. it
was written by Charles Klein, the au?
thor of "El Caplton," and the mush by
that clover composer. VV. T. Francis, is
unquestionably of a very superior
character. The piece abounds with
good songs anil dainty da tires. The
supporting company comprises a num?
ber of clever comedians and handsome
women, at the head of which is little
Jessie Maokaye, the tiny comedienne,
who made such a hit in London last
year. There will be a chorus of pretty
girls, nnd "A Royal Rogue" will be
