The Liliputians, who have delighted
New York audiences for the last three
months, will give Sacred Concert at the
Hoboken Theatre tonight, at which sThe

this city during the present season. The
success which they achieved last wiuteF
in Hoboken is well remembered all
the more as hundreds had to be
turned away nightly. Misses Selma

eye OF old Davy's successor in possession.
just after the British DESTROYED WASH
ineton In 1914 old Davy died, and true
10 his promise he left Marcia the richest
woman In Virginia or Maryland. Colonel
vahness, heaving great sigh Of relief,
abandoned the old cottage, and with the
nelp OF Latrobe, the early architect of
the capitol, began the construction of a
mansion commensurate with his Knick-
eroocker tastes and Marcia's vast
wealth. Old Davy was out Of the way.
NOW let us take our proper position, .
suggested Colonel Vanness to his he
loved Marcia.
They did. Colonel Vanness proceeded
10 build the once splendid mansion
winch to-day overshadows the old Burns
cottage. He took 10000 square feet Of
ground, and inclosed it by brick wall,
linen he built, not more than twenty

For years the Vanness mansion and

In summer they use the grounds for pic

A Black Beauty.

An amusing story is told of we'll
known Russian woman who went re-
Gently to enjoy the sulphur baths at
Tihis. On particular morning the
countess entered, as usual, one Of the
bath rooms. The water had hardly
touched her body, however, when, to
her horror, she began to turn black.
She was SO frightened at the trans
formation that, upon seeing her re-
Election in the mirror, she tainted. The
attendant, who was as greatly startled
as her mistress, cried for help. The
explanation was simple enough. 1t
was found that the countess was ac-
customed to paint her face, hands,
arms and neck daily with substance
containing zinc. On this fatal day the
poor woman had neglected to remove
the identifying coat. The zinc COM
bined with the sulphur and natrium of
the water and quickly made On African
belle out of the white-skinned bather.
A considerable time passed ere the I'M
fortunate woman resumed her natural
appearance.
