BATHING BEACH NEXT YEAR.
Commissioner West promises something
fl?io nml n>por</l (n f K.i fnrm nf a nuhlip
I bathing beach next year. He admits that
as the beach stands at present It is nothing
to entice the most fastidious, but
apologizes for this condition by saying
that the "beach" was hurriedly opened be
fore it was ready and that it will answer
the purpose for the present, as far
as the boys are concerned.
"But Just wait until next year," the
Commissioner says. "When we open the
beach next spring Washington will have
something to be proud of, and, unless I
am a bad guesser, it will have a public
bathing place that will compare favorably
with anything of its kind in the
country. The bath houses, with hundreds
of clean, comfortable lockers, are
all that could be desired; there is natural
beauty and charm about the grounds
used as the bathing beach, and after we
have installed a new and rfp-to-date water
supply system, put ntw bottoms in the
various battling pools, and the weeds and
vegetable matter in the pools have been
cleared away, the bathing beach will be
an ideal spot."
Taking into consideration the adverse
circumstances surrounding the construction
of the bathing beach in order that
it could be opened for public use this
season. Commissioner West says there is
nothing to be ashamed of, and, as a matter
nf fnt>t te verv much nleased with
what has already been done. The bathing
beach question has grown to be a hobby

INSTALLING STEAM PRESSES.
Loss of Positions Is Feared by Plate
Printers.
The plate printers employed at the bureau
of engraving and printing are said to be
apprehensive that there will soon be a discharge
of members of their craft and their
woman assistants at the money-making
plant because of the installation in the
bureau of steam printing presses to succeed
the hand machines. The law against the
employment of steam presses In the bureau
was repealed by Congress at Its last session,
and since that time two steam presses
have been placed In the establishment and
are now said to be at work printing revenue
stamps. Another press is being Installed,
and how many more will be added is said
to be problematical.
The plate printers are said to be fearful
that a large number of the steam presses
will be Installed, and that Instead of conlining
their usefulness to the printing of
revenue stamps and other work of a lower
Kra.de, the authorities may employ them In
the work of printing money. If such should
be done, they say, It would result in a
marked reduction of the present force of
printers and the women who work with
them on the hand presses.

OMIT "BILL" AND "TOM"
EMPLOYES . OF . GOVERNMENT
PRINTERY MUST USE TITLES.
A rumor has been In circulation since the
departure of Public Printer Charles A. Shillings
for the east, several days ago, that
he had been sent for by President Roosevelt
and that his resignation would be request
ed. The reasons given were that his methods
were not approved by organized labor,
especially by the membe-s of the typographical
union, and that "under the current
at the printery there lurked great dissatisfaction
and a state of almost open
mutiny."
It was also said the printers and bookbinders
had brought their weight to bear
on certain prominent republicans, who had
concluded, for "the good of the party,"
that Mr. Stillings should step down and
out.
" The official atmosphere of this city has
been surcharged with the foregoing and
similar r^nnr nnri thA r^oiilt haa hp#>n
considerable gossip.
Two of the highest officials at the big
printery were asked as to the truthfulness
of the reports today, and they both declared
there was not a scintilla of truth in
them.
"As a matter of fact," one of them declared,
"Mr. Stilllngs has gone north on a
purely business' trip, and he may, while
away, visit the President at Oyster Bay.
It Is possible there are some matters of
printing office policy he may desire to talk
over with the President, but the rumor that
he will be asked to resign is untrue and
absurd."
Another official of the printing office said
the public printer had no doubt made some
enemies by overturning old and obsolete
methodB and adopting new ones, and these
enemies were placing the derogatory reports
in circulation.
Women Workers Alarmed.
A report from the printery today states
that some of the older employes among the
women workers In the bindery and folding
room are In a state of alarm because of a
recent order of the public printer detailing
Medical Inspector Manning to make an examination
of their physical condition and ,
report the same to Mr. Stilllngs upon his
return to the city. The older women employes
believe this examination will mean a
wholesale discharge of those who are re- (
ported to be unable to do a full and fair
day's work because of their age and feebleness.
It Is understood a report of this matter
has been made to Department Commander
Newton Ferree of the Grand Army of the
Republic, as many of the elderly women In
the printery are said to be the widows and
daughters of civil war veterans. What ac- '
tion, if any, the Q. A. R. will take could i
not be learned. .
In the same connection It was reported
today that the price paid piece workers in
the folding rooms has been cut down,
making it almost impossible for the work- '
ers to earn a competency.
An order issued Saturday directs that
cue co vi. me ymuo wiicu ouux trsnuiK
each other shall use the prefixes "Mr.,"
"Mrs." or "Miss," as the case may be. In
explanation the statement was made at the
printing office today that recently the public
printer, while passing through one of
the divisions heard an employe address one '
of the foremen as "Bill," to which the foreman
responded using the expression "All
right, Tom." It was also said suoh has
become common practice, and Mr. Stilllngs
believes the employes should be more respectful
In addressing one another, and especially
the foremen and other officials.
Hence the "Mr.," "Mrs." and "Miss'' order
of Saturday.

BECXAMATION OF BOOKS. '

Superintendent of Documents Han- ,
dling Department Overflow. 1
The superintendent of public documents '
hns a large force of employes at work |
on one of the knottiest problems presented 1
since the reorganization of business meth- 1
ods began at the government printing of- ,
flee several months aero. It consists of
the classification and sorting of more than 1
3,000,000 volumes of every description of 1
government publication. Taking as a i
standard the average volume, the mass '
of books would fill 380 ordinary freight I
cars or nineteen trains of twenty cars
each.
The law provides that once each year
the departments and various issuing offices
must turn over to the superintendent
all documents remaining undistributed,
and In the consignments from such perinlaon.tiM

many volumes not Issued by the government.
The fourth floor of the old printing
office building is loaded with the accumulation
of years, and the present emergency
force is engaged in sorting, classifying
and wrapping those books thought to be
salable or desirable for library purposes.
About 200,000 items aro handled each
month, and the expectation is that there
will be a handsome surplus left after all
expenses are paid. 1
It is understood that further efforts
will be made this winter to induce Congress
to extend the field of the documents
office, particularly in the line of distribution
of government publications. It is
argued that a skilled force could handle
the wrapping find mailing for all offices
to a decided advantage, and do away with
the numerous temporary details of unskilled
clerks in the various departments.
With the installation of a central distributing
point, the post office would establish
a substation In the building and
the wagon loads of mail would go direct
to the cars.

ION WILL
THE THEAT E R.
Majestic.
The title of the drama presented at the
Majestit? Theater last night by the local
stock company, "The Cherry Pickers," Is
suggestive of peace, po?try and the pastoral,
whereas. In fact, the play abounds In
scenes of warfare and villainy. The explanation
offered by the author of the drama,
Joseph Arthur, is that It takes its title
from an English regiment?the 11th Hussars?nicknamed
"Cherry Pickers" owing
to a historic and tragic Incident that happened
while the regiment was campaigning
in Spain. The soldiers upon reaching an
orcnara stacKed tnp)r arms, cnmDea tne
trees and were gorging themselves with
cherries when they were surprised by the
Spanish cavalry and the entire EJngllsh
regiment was captured or killed. The 11th
Hussars adopted the red trousers afterward.and
were known as "the Cherry Pickers."
The seep? of th3 drama is laid in
India in 1879-1880. and the action abounds
in thrilling sc?nes and intensely d-amatic
situations It is a soldier play throughout,
and its accompaniment is the clash of war.
n is aiso suggestive in several parts or unwritten
features of tha English methods of
government in picturesque India.
In the gad and tearful part of Nourmallee,
the merchant's half-caste daughter. Miss
Kathryn Purnell did not have full opportunity
to exploit her splendid histrionic
ability, but her Interpretation of the emotional
maiden in whose veins coursed the
blood of the Brahmins and her loyalty, even
unto threatened death, to John Nasare, a
half-caste office- In her majesty's native
Indian army, wera effective and called
forth frequent encores. She wai well sup
ported by Mr. Franklyn Munkel, as Nazare,
throughout the play, which abounded in
pictures of military life, bugle calls, booming
cannon and the constant presence of
Tommy Atkins In his uniform of scarlet
and khaki.
Mr. Arthur J. Pickens, as Col. Brough,
military commandant at Rawul Pindee, as
the archvillain of the drama, was clearly
In the first class, and so realistic were his
temperaments that the audience hissed several
time when he cHplayed acta of cruelty
to Nourmallee and Nazare when they were
In his power.
The comedy parts, H. C. Bewley. as
Brough's valet, and Miss Florence Hamilton,
as Mrs. O'Donnell-Duleep. were well
taken and gave the action of the drama a
leaven of fun and laughter. Others who
deserve favorable mention are Luther Hale,
as the Arkood of Swat: \V. Jeff Murphy,
as Lieut. York; Ed Redding, A1 Roberts,
Jack F. Goodwin, W. Stanley James,
Gteorge W. Elwood, Miss Rosalind Allen and
Mi3s Madeline Delmar. The scenic effects
were artistic reproductions of views In faraway
India.
Chase's.
The opening of the second week at
Chase's vaudeville house packed the place
at both afternoon and evening performances.
The bill this week Is along customary
lines?a little music, a little singing,
some Jokes, some acting and a few acrobatic
stunts. Two of the features which
might be classed as headllners are May
Tully and her company in "Stop, Look and
Listen." and Cameron and Flanlgan in "On
and Off." The former one-aet play Is a
clever bit of acting. The name of the play
somewhat belies it. as it has very little to
(lo with railroad trains. The skit center3
around a stage-struck girl who has planned
to run awav to New York. Miss Tully,
who has been through the mill, finally persuades
the little one to give up the idea.
During the act Miss Tully (jives several impersonations
of well-known actresses. She
was well supported by Miss Demarest and
Mr. Curtis.
Cameron and F;unlgan, two clever blackfaced
singers und dancers, gave an Insight
IntA real at q ira 1 if?? in t'Vi t* 1 'On on/^ Off " I
They beein their skit with some singing
and dancing and finally become engaged in
an argument, and in this manner leave the
stage. The curtain is then rung up showing
the dressing room of a theater, where
the. fellows are still at their argument and
where they change from their stage to
street clothes. It is a good piece of acting
ind Shows how the stage folk are made up.
Riggoletti Brothers, acrobats, open tbe
show, and their act is with the aerial ladier.
The Petchlngs appear In the same
musical act they have used for some time.
IVynn and Lewis, as two college boys, do a
good song and dance act, but the other
sketch on the bill, "A Shine Flirtation,"
svas rather mediocre.
The real funmaker among the perforators
was Julius Tannen, the monologlst. This
young actor has improved very much during
the past Beason. He winds up his act
with Imitations of famous players, having
added many new ones to his repertoire,
rhe show concludes with some unique vitagraph
pictures.

J ? ~ J Charmlon
was the whole thing at the
Gayety, and set the house wild.
But, to begin at the beginning?the Qay;ty
Theater opened yesterday afternoon
with the Bowery Burlesquers. The house
was packed, with a fringe down the walls,
while at the evening performance there
were even more spectators. The show
went with a snap, except when the comedians
were allowed to remain too long on
the stage, and the members of the chorus
girls change their minds. A Washington
boy, Harry Hills, held down one of the
roles, singing "Marluccia" excellently, but
he, like the other men in the cast, was
usually submerged In the whirl of skirts.
White and gold, with red hangings, make
the color scheme of the new theater, which
is more capacious than would be Imagined
from its facade. The lobby is spacious, and
there is room enough back of the last row
of seats for a young regiment to stand, as
one stood last night. There a~e two galleries,
with Are exits to the alleys. The
proximity of the civil service commission
and other government buildings Is an added
guaranty of good company and a well-behaved
constituency.
"On the Bowery," "The Sculptor's Studio"
and "Essex Market Police Court" were the
three divisions of the burlrsque, in which
the plot kept vanishing only to reappear
when you least expected it. Then there
was Charmion.
Ben Jansen, a Jewish comedian. Btlrred
the audience with a surprisingly good turn
at the piano, and afterward', in a nonsensical
police court scene, burlesqued the tra
ditlonal police court judge. Arthur and
Ethel Miller gave a whirlwind daj^co act
that was as cleverly done as It was exhausting.
and excelled themselves In their
encore.
Charmlon neded no Introduction. She wa?
the cynosure of all eyes when she came
upon the stage and mounted her trapeze,
and as she began shedding her outer Integuments
three spectators climbed on the
stage and won their tokens. "Hon! solt

circlets thrown to the audience, which
stood up on its hind legs and howled, but
for a white girdle that was given away
there was no appropriate quotation. Char
mion threw mirrors and buttons with pictures
of herself to all parts of the auditorium,
not forgetting the gallery, and had
the house going and coming. Her work on
the trapeze, remarkable though it was, became
a mere incident to her performance.
On 9th street the block near the theater
looked like a bit of Broadway, with the
brilliant lights of the new theater and the
crowd that had gathered. There is no

DUST OFF THE SCHOOL BOOKS.
For Monday, September 23, Is the
Fatal Date Fixed.
Washington's public schools will open
Monday, September 23. Capt. James F.
Oyster, chairman of the board of education,
says that parents of p?pils have evidently
been hazy about this date, apparently being
under the Impression that the schools always
open on the third Monday in September.
This year the third Monday comes on
the 16th, and, as it has been the custom to
open the schools between the 17th and the'
2oth, Monday, the 23d, has been set as the
day when the pupils must trudge unwillingly
to school.
