CHICAGO, Fob. 22. Washington 's birthday was celebrated at Chicago as usual under tho auspices of the Union League club. The chief orator of the day was Governor Charles E. Hughes ... i urh, wnose auurcss was fro- luently interrupted by onthuisnstic ap. pliiuso. Later a si id meeting was held in the orchestra hall, at which Henjamin l.le Wheeler, president of the University of California, delivered the chief address. We venerate Washington 1 ause j supremo test he vindicated manhood. The standards of liberty were unsullied in his hands. We must all take to heart the I. ss..n of his life if we are to realize American ideals. It is the lesson of supremacy of duty, it is the lesson of honor, of fidelity to trut. It must be enforced in executive legisla tive chambers, in e..uru of justice, in newspaper offices, in hunks' in and insurance companies, in professional and commercial life, in the marts of trade, in the counting room and in the shop, by employer mid employed. There is no legislative road to char acter. If the spirit of Washington could permeate onr public and private life we should neither seek nor need gov ernmental panacea, and it is only inso far as in fact that spirit imbues admin. istrntion that the government of a free i people can perform its functions. The country is morally sound. Its standards of business were higher. The business men of the country are for the most part honest mcu, representing fair ly the moral standards of the people, and never more than today have they taken as a whole, earnestly desired that i.oiises snail ne stopped, that on end DROWNING 10 DIE ON RAIL Two Men Lose livf After Having Escaped Death in Icy Waters of Monongahela 'ITTSm-IiG, Feb. 22.Savod f,, drowning in the icy waters of the Mo nongahela at Klizabetl,, only to lw run down and killed by a train on reach ing the shore was the fate last night or I.

Confidence Is Essential. Pessimists and cynics cannot devel op this country. We must have confi dence in the stability of our institu tions, in the sanity of the people aad in their realization of what uuderlies onr prosperity. We have only begun to develop the commerce of this country. This is no time for discouragement or halting, but for appreciation of Amer ican opportunity and for that intelli gent and united effort by which alone we can nvail of it and deserve the bless ings of posterity. To support this confidence ni.,1 t gain these ends we must have a settled governmental policy. And it must be a right policy. It must be a policy con sisteni witn the genius of our institu linn.

"The Koyal Slave" of last night is a play that deals with intense dramatic ev ents. The company carried their own scenery and as usual was verv much hampered oa account of lack of room and height of ceiling to hang their cur 'sins; then. too. there was the lact: f proper light effects, which can onlv be obtained by colored globes and a switch! rd arranged so that lights tnav l.e ,iiimsic,l. Tie- .lark scenes were took dark and I, a I a full light been used it would have -etir.lv destroyed the desired effect, TIk-ii. again, there was a lack of dem onstration on the part of the audience, which U very embarrassing to the actor. If an audience wants a good perform an.., they must do their part, at least on the start. Give an n.-tor a good round of applnuse on his first work and von will get the best there is in him. Students of psvchologv understand this. The plot of "The Koval Slave" ,.al with the erratic Mexican character hich in itself would forbid the nnieter and more subdm-d style of action. "The Slave," played bv Elton Den the old semi-cirilir.ed Aylec Tin. r..-,. ess Inez was indeed well played by ..inry .Ayre. . have Been this lady in many roles in the past when she was leading lady with the Woodward Stock company, une has nn exnresslve f..c. a good voice and above all a wnrm nn.l sympathetic temperament.
