Will playgoers never tire of that heart interest drama of the last score of years, "Human Hearts." which comes around on its annual tour with the regularity of Christmas or the Fourth of July? Apparently not, for each year this sterling old idyl of the Arkansas hills plays to bigger business than it did the year before. The theme laden witF that essential element called human interest is so vital, so real and goes to one's heart so thoroughly that interest in the play never wanes. There are scores of theatregoers who love simply to go to this dear old play for the good cry that it always affords.

It seems to be a relief to an overburdened soul to shed real tears occasionally and "Human Hearts" is the medium that draws them forth most copiously. The story of the play, which comes to the Crescent Theatre again next Sunday for a week's engagement, is so well known tiat repetition here would be useless. Suffice it to say thrills and climaxes fill the story, and at last a happy ending comes for the heroic principals. WARD AND VOKES COMING. Rollicking fun, catchy songs, pretty girls and the two best known and funny comedians will be the bill at the Crescent Theatre following "Human Hearts," when Ward and Vokes open with their new and most elaborate musical comedy sensation entitled "The Trouble Makers." Ward and Vokes are well and favorably known here and it is said that this new farce is a bigger laugh-producer than any of their former successes.

Laughs follow laughs in such quick succession that the audience will feel that they twill have laughed for once, so ridiculously funny and so excruciatingly complicated are the funny scenes and climaxes that beguile the two hours and thirty minutes devoted to the theatre. Shapely girls, witty comedians, catchy songs and pretty terpsichorean numbers are important features.

Explains How to Fill Out Assessment Blanks.

Gen. John Glynn, secretary of the Board of Assessors, declared that his office had considerable trouble every year through persons not understanding the law relative to assesaments, and how they are made. Explaining. he said: "When blanks are left at the domicile or place of business of persons they are frequently filled out and mailed to this offce without being signed. In such shape they are worthless to us.

The law requires that not only must they be signed, but must be sworn to. This can be done a notary, if it is more convenient to the taxpayer, but this is not necessary if the taxpayer will bring the document here, as it can be attested to in this ofice without any charge to the taxpayer." Gen. Glynn also declared that many of the taxpayers fail to take advantage of the opportunity they have to protest against the assessment if they care to do so. The assessors have been out in their district since Jan. 3, and will have all the asesments in by March 15.

From March 16 to March 31 the books will be open for inspection by the taxpayers, and it is then, said the General; that all who have protests to make should make them. Many fall to take advantage of this law. said Gen. Glynn, and wait until they see their assessment on their tax bills before they raise any protest. while they had the opportunity for ifteen days to Inspect the asssments.

That the Civil Service classes which are now in session at Evening School Number One, corner St. Charles and Calliope streets. have come up to the expectations of its organizers is shown by the splendid records which have been made by the students prepared there. When Honorable John A. the Civil Service Commissioner appointed from this state by exPresident Roosevelt.

first suggested such a class. New Orleans was the first city in the United States to organize such a class in the regular course of the public night school work. Professor Leonce S. Augustin, who is now at the head of this department, was first chosen as its instructor, and under his able management and guidance, the number of successful students have been very large. To date, of forty-five students who have been prepared for the various examinations, forty-two have been successful in passing, and the other three, becoming discouraged.

would not try the examinations again. Owing to the large number of students who have applied for this class during the present session, the board assigned Prof. Alfred L. Weber to aid Professor Augustin, and under the skillful guidance of both of these able men, the students have'lbeen doing exceedingly good work, and when the examination time comes, the students now being prepared will be thoroughly drilled in the necessary studies, and come up to the same high standard that previous classes have. Next month, Professor Augustin Intends to inaugurate a class In which a student who desires to be prepared for the examInations which will take place in the fall, need very little preparation to be sent against the examinations.

Prof. Augustin also desires to have the people from Algiers and the "across the river" towns take the course, as the have as much chance of passing as those on this side of the river. When the classes were irst started, Mr. B. Beckemeyer had the pleasure and the honor of passlng first in the Carrier's list.

So far, of four examInations for clerkearrier, students prepared by the school have carried first honors In three instances, and it is to be earnestly hoped that In the coming examinations that, as formerly, the students of the class will be among the head of the lists, and soon receive, as others have done, positions with the government. TWENTY-THREE YEARS' SERVICE. Hon. Chas. H.

Brownlee, one of our most prominent citises, has made a record as offiee holder in the Order of Odd Pellows. At the last election, which took place Jan. 17, he was elected for the twenty-third time to serve as Reporter of the lodge, his firs electioa having taken place in December, 1888, and he was elected every year since Mr. Brownlee has on many occasions represented the local lodges in the Gread sad Supreme Lodge of Odd Fellows and his peculiar ability and aptness before a large gathering has always made his choice necessary whenever important legislation was desired.

HANLEY-WINGERTER. The marriage of Miss Olivia Hanley and Mr. Henry Wingerter was solemn-' ized on Wednesday evening, 18, at the Church of the Holy Name of Mary. As the clock in the steeple rang out the hour of five. the bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr.

Chas. Hanley, who gave her into the keeping of the groom, who awaited her coming at the altar. The bride was most beautifully gowned in Japonica silk trimmed with valenciennes lace. She carried a large bouquet of white carnations and maiden hair fern. which was artistically arranged with streamers of white ribbon.

Miss Lillian Vogel, the bridesmaid, wore a lovely gown of white china silk trimmed with valenciennes lace. Mr. Henry Burmaster, a nephew of the groom, was groomsman. After the ceremony at the church I the bridal party and relatives and friends proceeded to the home of the 2 bride's mother, Mrs. Jos.

Wingerter received many handsome presents, as well as congratulations and best The happy young couple wifi Se pleased to receive their many friends at their cozy home, 720 Brooklyn avenue. 'e CONSOLIDATION MEETING. Saturday night at Pythian Hall one of the largest meetings of Pythians that was ever held took place in the lodge rooms. The purpose of the meeting was looking toward the consolidation of the three lodges, a subject that will be taken up later on by the different lodges. It is believed by many that there will shortly be a great revie val of Pythianism on this side of the river, and it is the desire of the members to give their assistance in bring- ing the younger element into the or- 1 der.

It is not known what action the Sdifferent lodges will take on consolit dation, but it is very evident from the expressions of the different members present Saturday night that there would be no changes made in the three organizations. The three lodges toSday are in excellent financial standlag, having an asset of close to $10,000, which 1is very creditable to an organization having a membership of less than 300. A movement is to be started to again bring the Uniform Rank up to its old standard snd let the company attend the Grand Lodge meeting, which will be held at Baton Rouge In the coming 'May, when a prise of $200 is offered for the best adrilled company. at Naval Station Is Lekdy to To Remain. It is pretty dedlntely understood here that the house committee on nae val afralrs will oppose the abolition of athe naval station at New Orleans, recommended in the report made by Seretary Meyer last December.

General Estopinal, Iouisilana's memL ber of the committee, has been too busy with Exposition matters to give much attention to his committee's afer fairs, but he is reported to have been assured by other members, even by llgelibright, of California, that the New Orleans station would remain. Secretary Meyer is said to be not e- oversealous with regard to having the "i Orleans station abandoned, and it is thought possible that his recommenal dation relative to it was made only for a trading purposes.

Wedding Fees In New York. Large wedding fees are rare even in New York. Fees of $50 and $100 are considered large. The $1,000 fee when it makes its appearance usually goes to the rector of a wealthy congregation who enjoys a salary of $10.000 or $12,000 a year. Larger fees are sometimes given.

The man of wealth, actuated by a high regard for his pastor and friend, occasionally gives his cheek for $2,000 or $3.000 under the guise of a wedding fee. He wishes to help the minister and knows the money would not be accepted under any other circumstances Such gifts, it is needless to say, are extremely rare. New York has a few clergymen whose marriage fees average $1,200 a year. The pastor of a large Presbyterian church on Broadway has estimated that his fees amount annually to $1,000. These are topnotch Heralt aM.
