MASKS AND
WIGS GREAT
Performance Last Night Was
Thoroughly Enjoyable.
ACADEMY WAS PACKED
Vhat Girls Those Boys Do Make, to Bo
Sure, Was the Prevailing Idea
Among the Masculine
Auditors.
When the Musk end Wig Club last
season presented "Old King Cola" nt Uio
Armory, most of those In the audience
probably extruded thou patronage more
ly for the sako of aiding a ?\iod cause
in ? attending; a performance for "?wert
charity's" sake. That performance, how?
ever, so far surpassed nil oxpootatlohe,
that the town was talking about it for
a week nftorw.ird. Therefore, tho second
nppearajico hero of tlin onranlsfttlon,
which occurred at tho Academy last
night, was in tho nature of on event, and
the playhouse would have beo? crowded,
oren If charity had unt made an appeal.
As It wns.ino moro brilliant audience has
probably assembled at Ihe Academy this
season than that which greeted the Mask
and Wig Chili Inst nicht when It pre?
sented "Sir Robinson Crusoe,"
Tho presentation, ns ere all of those
of thlft or/rnnlKiitlon, was splendidly
staged, and tho chonis worked with ns
much precision nn that of ? road com?

tirls those boya do make. One would
Umost forget their sex were It not for
'.hose deep voice*. When they open their
snouths they rpoll Ihe effect, and the
man In the front rows laughs at himself.
The most clover work of the porform

is De Long Orcon, Mr. Robin C. Bnrt?o
is Mrs. Justin Lavonderg, Mr. William
lliller as Robinson Crusoe, and Mr. Fred
?rlok R. Forster as TYlday. The travesti
in tills season's production was one on
Belasco's "Du Barry." and It proved Im?
mensely amusing, even to those who had
sot seen the play.
The entire production was clever, and

Washington News.
Tlmes'Dlapatoh Bureau,
No. 1417 O Street, N. W..
Washington, D. C., April ?1. 1903.
There in turmoil In tho membership of
tho Metropolitan Cluo by reason of tho
rocont rejection of Adjutant-General Cor
bln'H application for momboiehlp, tho
story of which was printed In Tho
Times-Dispatch thle morning; after tho
Board o? Governors took final action, or
rather, after thoy allowed tho name of
General Cor bin t bo withdrawn. I lonrn
to-night that General Glllosplc, chief of
onginoora, haa withdrawn from tho olub
because of tho action of tho hoard, ]"?iy
mastor-Ooneral Batos, of tho navy, who
presented Qonoral Corbln'H application,
will taku similar action and it lu said that
a number of other officer? of tho urrny
and navy na well will In a short timo
withdraw from an orgnnlaation which
cannot forget that Qunaral Corbln was
expelled from a Chicago club some years
ago.
Tho somewhat surprising announcement
woa mudo by Qonoral MaroUfl J. Wright,
of tho Confodomto Records Division of
the War Department to-day, thnt tho
rosters of nearly all Confederato organ
l.ntlans wero already In tho possession of
tho Department.
"When Richmond whn captured in tho
spring of IfiOfi," nald Oonornl Wright, "the
Confederato rewords taken Included chiefly
company roators. I mean there were
moro of these than anything olse. O?
course, nil tho c.ompiinlos serving In tho
Confederate regiments did not hnvo
copies of their rolls In Richmond, but the
great majority did, as may bo woll
imagined. These tiro now in the posses?
sion of tho War Department, nnd will be
copied and published in connection with
rosters of the companies which fought en
tho Union ride. Now, I do not mean that
it is not Important that tho Governors of
tho Southern States should oo-operate
with the. War Department, and loun such
rolls as may be authenticated. It is safe
to assume that every roll In possession
of Stato governments is missing from the
War Department's collection. It is of the
arst Importano, that these be loaned
to us for copying. Of course, they will
be promptly returned."
Genoral Wright is at present engn'ged
In compiling a list of the staff officers of
tho Confederate army. It tfi an under?
taking of considerable magnitudo and will
keep him engaged for some time to come,
though ho. said to-day he hoped to be able
to go over to Richmond soon to vielt
friends.
"It Is estimated that In fifteen years
tho turpentine Industry of North and
South Carolina will be a thing of tho
past," said an afllcial of the Department
of Agriculture to-day. "Tho turpentine
forests aro disappearing at a rato which
Is simply appalling. The present method
of 'boxing' the pino tree for the run of
turpentine kills it in about throe years.
This method has been in practico ! for
yours, with the result that tho trees dis?
appear by many thousands every year.
The saw-mills try to take what la left."
Tho Foresty Division of the Department
has dovlsod a tin box with a spout which
is Insorteti In the treo trunk by Uue tur?
pentine gatherer, which If used, would
prolong the Ufa of tho tree for munv
years. The amount of turpentine obtain?
ed Is said to be fully as great as by tho
old method. But it Is not being generally
adopted,
The National Lumbermen's Association,
which is now In suasion here, lu, strance
as It may seem, in view of tho fact that
mills represented In tho association out
ten billion feet of lumber annually, in
thorough accord with the efforts of the
Department of Agruoulture to preserve
the forest?. The department wishes the
lumbermen not to cut a tree as small as
flfioon Inches In diameter, The asso?
ciation muy tako notion at this session
looking to the adoption of some such reg?
ulation. Certain it Is that many members
favor this course.
Mr, 10. C. 'Forsburgh, of Norfolk, will
be re-oieoted president of the association.
He and Mr. John, 1<. Roper, also of Nor?
folk, are two Of the most Influential men
In the association. Mr. Roper Is a Vir?
ginian by birth, and Mr, Fosburgh,
though a Northern man, has resided in
Norfolk and vielntly so long ho feels

1 printed In this correspondence five or
fiv weeks ngo a etory lo the effect that
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, would

Foulke. of Indiana, a member of the
Civil Servir.? Commission, announce.
that he Will resign ?bis fall und go hack
homo to givo bis time and Influence In
carrying the State for Mr. Roosevelt.
There surely could bo no need of such
shirt-sleeve Industry If there was to be
no opposition to Mr. Roosevelt's nomina?
tion, and it Ih us certain as anything in
future |n politics can lie, that If Mr. Fair?
banks Is not a candidate, Mr.' Roosevelt
will have no opposition for the nomina?
tion, Senator Hannu recently declared
with utmost emphasis that he would not
sock tho nomination. Mr. Foulke luis
not the slightest desire In tho world to
see Mr. Fairbanks nominated. Ho evi?
dently think? Mr. Falrbanko la |h?tenlas

Bult ?us bfcen fllud lu the Supreme. Court,
of tho Dlstrlot of Columbia by Robert
Burton und George A. Dubreull asolnst
Senator Stephen B. Mlkinfl, of West Vir?
ginia, for the snug little sum of $600.000.
The plaintiffs allege that this amount
Is due them for Bervices rendered in help?
ing Mr. Klklns gain oontrol of the West
orn Maryland Railway recently, by which
ho succooded in obtaining an outlet for
his West Virginia Central and the Wa
baah.
Tha plaintiffs oharse that Mr. Elklns
admitted, when the deal had boon con
mimmatod, that ho had made six million
dollars out ?of It, bir? ho refused to pay
them a penny.
Sonatnr Elicine is a vnry rich man,
practically owning tho town of Elkjns,
several railroads, a number of ooal
mines and tho Republican party of West
Virginia. A colleague rpmarkod to mo
tho othor day that It was an extraordi?
nary faot-that no matter how deeply Mr.
Elklns was interested In a political mat?
ter, ho was always ready and eagor to
talk monoy, or of a ech?me to make it.
This suit ?gainst Senator Elicine re?
minds mo that Governor White, of West
Virginia, and several other men promi?
nent in West Virginia. h_ve Just been
sued by New York partios in tho United
States Court at Clarksburg, W. Va., In an

ages by a woman, who says h? promised

will doubtless bo erlad to hoar of any

Sonn tor Clark Is a widower, far Into tho
shade of sixty. He has about a million
dollars for ovory year ho> has ltvod. Ho
upends lavishly, though not with? senn
tlonal prodigality. He Tins several grown
sons and df??Trihtora, and a beard, which,
for magnlture, almost equals tho late
Sonator Popper's, of Kansas, though It
evidences a closer acquaintance with the
brush and pruning ehears. Mr. Clark alts
