Comic Opera Coming.

A most welcome presence will be that of the Princess Bonnie Opera company next Monday night at O'Brien's opera house. In fact, the original cast and entirety of production will be seen the same IS in New York and other large, cities. The owners of the enterprise, b. w. Truss & Co.,, have given us many most enjoyable attractions. and this is conceded to be their best. Among the most important of the cast are Fred Len nox, Joseph Greensfelder, Robert Brod- erick, William Armstrong, George O'Donnell, Hllda Clark, Jennie Goldth- waite and Bessie Falrbrain. The chorus numbers upward of fifty well chosen voices, and the eostuming is exquisite. For cleanliness and sweet melody Princess Bonnie" is said to surpass all most any so-called comic operas which have yet been presented.

Bold Theft From an Electric Car by Negro
 BoW

A negro boy recently stole cash box from blue line electric car on Avenue F and Twentieth street. Motorman Me- Req was in charge of the car. He went inside the car and sat down, waiting for another car to pass. The negro then slipped up to the front platform and deftly unhooked the cash box, making away with it in the dark. Some of the passengers observed the negro's move ments, but did not know that he was committing robbery. As soon as he resumed his station on the front plat form the motorman discovered the theft. but too late. The box contained only about $5 used by the motorman in mak- ing change for the passengers.

Horses Her Hobbyo

Those who know Clara Morris only as
 the tragic heroine of emotional plays, and as one who has made probably more
 men and women weep than any other
 American actress, would scarcely imag-
 inc her the domestic character she is,
 and, like most everybody else, she has
 hobby. Her hobby Is horses. To her there
 is no exercise or recreation so delightful
 as being in the saddle, and at her home
 on the Hudson river, New York, is to be
 found stable of thoroughbreds, with
 which she amuses herself when not actu-
 ally engaged in her theatrical tours.
 In her younger days she was quite a
 reckless rider. Her daring nearly got
 her into trouble several years ago while
 playing in Washington. One morning
 Don Piatt, at whose house she was a
 guest, MT. Henry Watterson and she
 started across the country; they came to
 beautiful stretch of ground, upon which
 was sign which said: No trespass- ing" To use Miss Morris own worlds ''I longed to leap the fence, and the horse
 was as spry as a frisky kitten. Don Patt said 'No;' MT Watterson said Yes Don Piatt urged the penalty; MT. Waiter son was inclined to see the penalty paid, and implied as much in a wink l must have favored the venture, for before you could say 1t I was over the fence and across the meadow. It was truly glorious till the sound of the farmer pursuing caught my ear. He was gaining; l whipped; he spurred. What was to do? Over the hedge I went-he after. His horse was at my animals heels. He cried for me to stop; I wouldn't. Then my wits came and told him couldn't. But did, affecting nervousness and anxiety. I | begged him to hold the reigns. He was | threatening all sorts of things, but I paid no attention. I only muttered some | thing about 'treacherous beast;' first | time he was ever known to run away, l and 'once a runaway horse, spoiled for | ever.' Then the gentlemen came up. MT. | Watterson. without any cue from me, had | conceived the scheme, and with splendid | mmicry exclaimed. You shall never ride
 that horse again! I am glad to see you | are not hurtn The old farmer looked at | all three and said: T am sorry the lady
 had a runaway and that's how we got | out of it."

Clara Morris This Evening,

The appearance of that renowned ac- tress, Clara Morris, at OBren's opera house this evening has already awakened great interest. Few women on the Amer ican stage are held in more high favor with the theater-going public than this conscientious and painstaking actress. What will make the event of more than passing interest Is the announcement that Miss Morris will be seen for the first time in this city in a new play, called s.Raymonde," an adaptation from the French of Dumas Monsieur Aiphonse

Home of q Great Actress.


 Clara Morris has a charming country home on the Hudson. It is about twenty minutes walk from Riverdale station, and In full view of the Palisades and all the boating life of the river. The first glimpse one gets of "The Pines'' is of two red chimneys contrast ing with the tree tops. and they assert their supremacy long before one gets a breath of the pine trees that stand guard just inside the stone wall. The house is reached by drive curVing diagonally across the grounds.
 A soft carpet of green starts from the wall, catches the falling blossoms of the snowball makes background for the many brighter flowers and encircles the trunks of the many large trees. These big trees cross arms over the drive, and while the ivy creepS up among their branches one dignified limb supports a large, quaintly shaped lantern, hanging by a heavy iron chain. Further on an- other one of these iron lamps is suspended between two trees by n similar chain and among the trees and vines another was spied riveted to the side wall. There is something about these lamps to attract attention. They are all unusual and dis tinctive hut each one looks as If 1t were used and suggests hospitality
 On the veranda friendly cat was curl ed up on a cushion on one of the two benches found on either side of the door. The idea strikes one that the front door Is not often used, ana tnauf 1OlkS UTOp III at the side door. This Is the key to the whole atmosphere of "The Pines" The same welcome finds expression in the large hall and the comfortable chairs in the drawing room.
 The genuineness of the owner seems 10 pervade the room and the woman's hand was in 1t all Under this spell of home attention Is directed between the glow of pink in the room and the conspicuous lack of professional photographs. There is not one--not' of Miss Morris herself, If we except a life-size painting in ka- mona on one of the panels of Japanese screen. In fact there Is nothing to sug- gest "shop." The open plano, the carved mahogany chest between the two win dows. books scattered carelessly about. enough bric-abrac to hint at journey in O fascinating land and tho. one simple photograph in its quiet frame bespoke an owner in whose life they played part.

 Roland Reed one of our most popular actors and a comedian of merit, will play his annual engagement in this city at O'Brien's opera house Saturday evening next. He will present his newest. and said to be his best success, "The Politi- cian," or "The Woman's Plank" po- lttical satire by the late David D. Lloyd and Sydney Rosenfeld.

An IMI'ERITIYE NEED.

a number of residents of Hayre de
Grace, on Thursday night of last week
at the Rennert Hotel, Baltimore met
members of the Hartford delegation,
the Hartford School Board and Exam
liner and other citizens, to discuss
ways and means Tor supplying the
city OF Havre de Grace with public
school building The gentlemen pre-
sent were invited to an impromptu
banquet, at which Mayor r. X. Van
neman presided. Addresses were made
by 7. Leslie Hopper, John ID. Worth
ington, School Examiner, VIM. H.
Harlan, representing the County Com
missioners, Murray Nandiver, VIM
NJ. Marine. DIR. j. H. Cochran, Prof.
c. L. Wright, Stephen j. Seneca, A.
P. McCombs, Col j. II. Frieze and
others, in which the absolute need of
public school building in Havre de
Grace was urgently set forth while
at the same time tlIA want of means
on the part of the County Commits
sioners and the School Board was
plainly stated.
It was proposed by the representa-
tives of the school interests of Havre
de Grace to secure an enabling act
from the Legislature for an issue of
bonds to the amount of not more than
$50, 900 with which to erect suitable
buildings capable of accommodating
the 4S9 white, and the 1913 colored pu-
pills in the Hayre de Grace schools.
Fhseountg has no public school build
insSih the place, some of the pupils
being aecomiH8dated in the City Hall
and others at various places some of
which are in highly unsanitary con-
dition and dangerous, as DR.. Cochran
declared, to their health. There was
no difference of opinion as to the
: necessity existing for the public
school building but the only question
was, how can the money be raised
without an undue increase of taxa
ton? The county school board is
now paying $500 a year rent for the
City Hall and other buildings and it
is claimed that the efficiency of the
schools is impaired by reason of the
pupils being scattered, to say nothing
of the danger to their health from the
unsanitary condition of the buildings
in which they are taught.
1t was finally agreed by the Havre
de Grace representatives that if the
county would erect suitable buildings
the city would contribute one fifth of
the cost.
The Legislative delegation, Messrs.
Seneca, Hanway and Whiteford de
clined to commit themselves to any
course of action, while unapprised OF
the wishes of their constituents, but
recognized fully the necessities of the
case.
The members of the School Board
present, DIR. d. W. Hopkins and f.
W. Baker, likewise were unwilling,
at that time, to say more than that
the case is ali urgent one and must
sooner or later be met by the county
Since the meeting at Rennert's it is
understood that the City Council of
Hsvre de Grace has served notice up
on the School Board thar they, must
vacate the City Hall, in which most
