Illdge Elmer—Eldon Petition . ‘ of Bridgeport Traction company. If Decision is Sustained Work Will Com-‘ mence Soon. Yesterday Judge William T. Elmer announced his decision in the petition , of the Bridgeport Traction company to “extend their line from Southport to VVestport. Judge Elmer finds that public. necessity and convenience re- quire the construction of the road and that the company is able to build it. He therefore grants the petition. The Consolidated will undoubtedly appeal to the supreme court of errors in the hope that Judge Elmer’s decision may be reversed, but should that court sustain his decision,work on the exten- sion will be commenced at the earliest I AMUSEMENTS. ' Under the Dome. Of the much heralded scene in “Un- der the Dome” which comes to Hoyt’s Theatre, Friday evening, February 11, it is said the. owner of the play pre- vious to the initial production entirely overlooked its possibilities, pinning their faith to the ferry boat scene, which indeed, were it the only effect in the play would insure success. But the hurricane scene proved the biggest kind of a surprise. It was at once pro- nounced an absolute marvel, and com- pletely threw the other big effects of the play into the “alsb ran” list. Since then it has been perfected and is said to be second only in its awful realism to the actual hurricane in the harbor of Apia, of which it is a stage repre- sentation. . ' The Spooncrs. America’s BiggestBrightest and Best Comedy and Specialty Company, head- ed by the two versatile stars, Edna and Cecil, and supported by an excellent company of high class dramatic and specialty artists will open a week’s en- gagement at Hoyt’s Theatre commenc- ing next Monday evening. This excel- lent company during its engagement here will produce several metropolitan, Successes never before seen at cheap prices.

Fanny Kcmblo Believed in No Deviation from an Agreement. “When can these be returned to me, washed and ironed?” she 'inquired. “The day'after 'to-morrow, madam, at noontime.” "‘Be it so,” was the dramatic reply— ‘at twelve on Wednesday.” But on the hour appointed the clothes had not been returned, and at ten minutes past noon a servant stood before her, in response to the short .mmmons of the bell. "My clothes that were to be returned ~lt twelve to-day-bring them.” . . “But. madam, we have not been able to .get them ready, owing to a difficul- ty in the laundry. You shall have them to-morrow.” “Bring them now—they were promis- ad to-day!” " “I know it, madam; but they are not ready.” “It matters not to me; bring them inst as they are.” The servant went out, and a few moments later tivo men entered, bear- Eng the clothes in a. tub full of soap- suds and wet clothes, set them on the tloor and went out.—.—Golden Days. The Oldest Lock in Existence. “The oldest lock in existence is the one which formerly secured one of the doors of Nineveh,” Says the St. Louis Republic. fair, and the key to it, which is as large as one man can conveniently carry, reminds one of the Scriptural reference to such instruments being carried on the shoulder. The exact words are, ‘And the key to the heuse of David I will lay upon his shoulder.’ The key to the lock from Nineveh is nearly three and a half feet in length, and of the! thickness of a four-inch drain tile.” Archmoloilonlf “Those jokes that Timmins cracks—" “Yes; I know, they are cracked.

Uncle Sam is not careless about such TNo debtor ever took more pains to make good his promise to pay. The Treasury Department has in its redemption division experts who with remarkable skill and patience are able to identify money from ashes. Mrs. Brown is one of the most skilled of these experts. She has been in the de- partment for many years and she knows every mark on the currency so well that she has been able to make out a ’case for those whose money has been burned, even from the ashes; and she is held in such high esteem by the government that her word is accepted in all such matters. There is probably no other employe in the government whose word stands for money as does. that of this white-haired lady who sits in the corner of the redemption d-ivir ‘sion of the Treasury Department and with patience handles under a glass the ashes and scraps of paper which once represented money. , It is estimated that 1 per cent. of the paper currency issued is never pre- sented for redemption. As an example the government dur- ing the war and immediately following issued $368,000,000 of fractional cur- rency, commonly known as shinplas- ters. This fractional currency was called in many years ago, but there are still outstanding $15,263,640.47 of such money, with no likelihood of very much of it ever. being re- deemed. Last year the govern- ment , redeemed $3,482 of this frac- tional currency. It is believed that this came largely from people who had preserved pieces of this old money of shinplaster days as souvenirs, but were forced to use them in the hard times of last year. In one presentation for redemption there was a. full and uncut sheet of 3—cent shinplasters. The Colored Member. The only colored ‘member of the LVth Congress is George H. White, of the lid District of North Carolina, who during the short time he has servedin Congress has won the respect and es-' teem of his associates. Mr. White -is There is Irish, Indian and negro blood in his veins, and it-is not too much to say that he possesses the best characteristics of these races. He has the Wit of the Irishman, the faithfulness of the negro, the patience and endurance of the'Ind'ian, and to this curious mixture, perhaps, he owes the success which he has attained. GEORGE H. WHITE. ‘ Like nearly all of the men ofvhis race who have risen to prominence, Mr. White owes his success in, life largely to himself, to his own perseverance and his ability to conquer difiiculties. His early studies were much interrupt: ed because of the necessity he was un- der to do manual labor on‘ farms and~ 3. in the forests, and it Was not until he . was seventeen years old that his seri-gr ous education was actually begun at?- what was then known asa. “subscrip- tion school." He finally came to Wasn- ington and entered Howard University, where he was graduated with honors in 1877, paying from his own earnings all of his college~ and personal expens- - es. Subsequently he began the study of. medicine, but finding this uncongenial he returned to North Carolina, where he. began the study of law under Judge William J. Clarke, and was admitted to the bar. Later, when admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of this state, he was the only colored man in a. class of thirty-two. To meet the ex- penses of his law course Mr. White taught school, and was then, as he is now, .an enthusiast on the higher edu- cation of his race, believing that its development will come through this means only. He is remembered as a. remarkable teacher in that he inspired his students to their best efforts, and gave them new ambitions and a wider point of view. During his services in the House of Representatives in his State he introduced and was the au- ‘thor of a. bill creating four State nor- mal schools; and, indeed, he- is cred- ited with having done more to advance education in North Carolina than any other man in” that State. ' Mr. .White was nominated to his present place by acclamation, and at the election worsted his opponent by more‘than: four thousand-majority. He has all of the attributes that go to make a politician; an understanding of human nature, a deep knowledge of public questions, and-he is rarely gift- ed as an orator, logical, forcible and convincing. Through thrift and econ— omy Mr. White hasamassed a. modest competency. In a. word, the colored member from the Rd North Carolina. District should be a. model to his race. and no one could study his career without receiving benefit from it. SENATOR, slay-.What a fine, imposing man that is,“ in front of us.
