Thanking Their Lucky Stars.
? Thousands of Washingtonians who made trips on the steamers I
Lord Baltimore" and "The Penn" are congratulating themselves that I
they are alive today.
? The two boats were taken out of the Washington and Norfolk
: passenger service because, upon inspection, they were found to be
| unsafe. These boats have been used as passenger carriers for about
I eight weeks, during which time they carried thousands of persons.
: Several mishaps occurred, but these were overlooked by the public
;and also seem to have been overlooked by the Steamboat Inspec
tion Service.
.t, u ftCr ?ight WCtks ?f plying on the d?P waters of the Potomac
;.the boats are now forbidden to run. The public most naturally is led
? to inquire: If the boats were safe two months ago what happened to
make them unsafe in so short a time?
Can the inspectors explain how they permitted the boats to start
.r the excursion business and also why they waited "until complainti
were made before making the inspection that resulted in finding
them to be unsafe?
China declares that the weaker allies were sacrificed to the
stronger. Did she think altruism would go so far as to sacrifice the
stronger to the weaker?

New York. July 26.?One shot of
this new Arid-Toxin in the spinal
cord of Broadway and CabaraWea?
that fearsome n!g]\t p la rue that swept
from Fourteenth street to Harlem
is dead. Only the patient, long-suffer
ing New Yorker kqo<rs the horror of
Cabarabics. It was one of the main
reasons for men staying up of nights
and for wives going- homa to mothers.
Several of the palaoes of synco
pation. noted for jazz, blonds and
Jesse James prices, are now shut
j tered. The electric signs are dead.
Perhaps the caretaker, sitting on the
front stoop smoking his pipe, is the
I only signs of life.
Life in the Cabaret Belt is about
as chipper as an oyster. Twelvn
hundred cabaret performers are look
ing for jobs and the outlook Is not
bright for this is the summer nefhton
when thousands of actors and ac
tresses are bein;? laid off.
I saw Cap Churchill sitting out hi
front of his lobster shop the other
evening. I took a peep inside and
saw a ghostly array of white empty
tables. It was then about the time
in the old d&ys that Ethelbert had
had four cocktails and had phoned
to Maizie and Flo for a cabaret
dinner and a romp out to some West
chester roadhouse in a twin eight
Not a joy ride accident has hap^
pened on 2.75 per cent beer. Some
how those daring young autolsts can't
be inspired to let the old bus out
for its capacity on beer.
The roof gardens are the only places
in New York where there is a show
! of pre-prohibltion life. People go
there to get cool. The roofs atop
the Waldorf. Ritz, Majestic and As
tor are crowded njfchtly and the
dancing has apparently not suffered
a set-back.
But the poor cabaret. It is piti
ful thing to see.
| New York Is one of the few cities
east of Peoria. 111., which still main
tain talking machines with the old
time ear-tube attachments. Also the
historic plcturo machines which show
| you aged waitresses posing in flowing
and diaphanous sheets in front of a
suspended tiger skin. One cent en
titles you to the full privileges of
either machine. They are maintained
in the Hudson tube stations, penny
arcades on Fourteenth street and one
rushing business during the lunch
rushig business during the lunch
hour.
A Broadway actor went to a din
ner the other night and remained
there until S a. m. At that hour he
suddenly remembered he had a wife i
and making his way unsteadily to ?
a telegraph oftice, sent her the fol- j
lowincr wire:
"Am at dinner at the club. Won't
get home last night."
Vaudeville artists for years have re
sorted to the perfectly legitimate bit
of camouflage of sending flowers to
themselves. Two sisters who danced
at the Palace last week pot a bic
wreath of flowers at the end of their
act. A dramatic critic in the back
of the theater remarked that it might
be on the square, but that it was
old stuff, at best. A husband of
one of the dancers heard the remark
and butted into the conversation. He
offered to bet ?100 to a nickel that
the flowers wer? sent by some ad
mirer. oNt setting a taker he of
fered to whip the newspaper man
if he came out on the street. He
was denied this privilege, too. So
he frothed at the mouth awhile and
left. In fact, there is a certain florist
in a side street near Board way whose
business is largely nvde up of mak
ing bouquets for artists who have
them sent to themselves. After all.
it is no disgrace. Why shouldn't they?

Where Lor*n Find SoUce and Solitude.
About midway down Capitol Hill m the northweit Capitol park ti
a most poetic grotto, partly covered by vines, and with a drinking
fountain in its center and stone Kau for loving couple* and tir?
humanity as well. About thirty years ago this picture spot w?i
reputed to be haunted because of faint music that came from th?
waters beneath the fountain. It was like the melodies of an aeoliat
harp- Investigation by an old-time newspaper man brought to lirh'
the fact ?hat a sentimental official of the Capitol had constructed >
sort of harp which was placed beneath the stream of water thai
overflowed and trickled down from one corner of the fountain. Th<
tailing water produces a most harmonious musical effect and in th<
stilly hours of the night was ghostlike. Belated pedestrians who wer?
superstitious declared the uncanny music was produced by super
natural agencies. The suggestion has been made that another watei
harp be prepared and placed under the overflow at the grotto.
