A Plea For the Old Box Hedge.

And may not enter here plea for
the preservation of the box edgings Of
our old garden borders? I know they
are almost obsolete-have been winter
killed and sunburnt-and are even in
sorry disrepute as harborers of unpleas-
ant and unwelcome garden visitors.
For its beauty in winter alone the box
should still find place in our gardens.
It grows to great size. Alice Morse

was arrested Oh the charge of disorderly
conduct. His case is unprecedented.
His offense consisted Of obtaining a
license to marry Mrs. Ellen Cavanagh,
a comely widow, whom he only knew
by sight and who does not know him at
all. The notice Of the issue Of the
license was published, and Mrs. Cava-
nagh, who was annoyed by the raillery
of acquaintance in this connection, be-
came very indignant, and it was at her

A story was sent out from Media. Pa,
yesterday and spread broadcast by the
newspapers to the effect that j. Spen-
Ger Miller, a young law student OF that
place, had received a letter notifying
him that he had been bequeathed $780,
900 by an Italian named Bernito Null.
formerly of this city, but who died re-
Gently in st. Louis.
The story goes on to say that young
Miller travelled through this part Of
the state with an engineering corps
four or five years ago and spent year
in this city, where he met Null and be-
came his intimate friend. The report
further says that Miller and his lawyer
were bound for Scranton to get the
legacy.
Scrantonians.i particularly business
men, have a distinct recollection Of one
Signor Is. Null, vocal teacher, who
spent a short season here about three
years ago and who made himself quite
famous by his voice. his dress, his debts
and other things. He left here sudden
ly and a short time afterwards his
trunk was released by an acquaintance
and forwarded to him to st. Louis,
where report had it he married u
! wealthy widow. 1t was also reported
that he died there about two years ago.
Both these reports We're afterwards
| contradicted by Dame RumOr.
He Is undoubtedly the same Null. or
Mulligan, as his true name was. who

case, Scrantonians who met the festive

COMEDY WELL PRESENTED
Large Audience Saw Madame Sans
Gene at Fr0thingham.
STAGED IN A SUPERB MANNER
Company h Headed BY Kathryn Kidder.
Who Essays the Title Role. and
Augustus Cook. Who 10 Seen
as Napoleon.

Madame Sans Gene was produced
for the first time In this city last night.
1t was done at the rockingham by
company under the management OF
Augustus PitOu, which contains two
such finished actors as Kathryn Kid
der and Augustus Cook. Manager Pi-
tou has staged the play with an elab-
orateness and careful attention to de-
tails historical and otherwise that has
not been surpassed in this city save in
the case of "Gismonda." The audience
that saw Madame Sans Gene" last
night did not entirely tax the capacity
of the house. but it's great apprecia-
tion of the dramatic treat presented
was shown by the hearty applause and
curtain calls. 1t Is entirely probable
that a crowded house will witness to-
nights performance, when the same
company will present Madame Sans
Gene"
The stage is indebted for the comedy
to that past master of stage art, We
torien Sardou and Emil Moreau. The
English version of 1t Is by Charles
Meltzer. The comedy opens with the
first scenes of the French revolution
that dragged Napoleon from obscurity
and made him the foremost figure OF
all the world. The revolution that
seated Napoleon on throne made OF
humble Sergeant Lefebvre duke and
a marshal Of France, and Of his wife.
Madame Sans Gene. the laundress. a
duchess. In this character Kathryn
Kidder has rightly achieved fame. She
draws 1t with broad. true strokes that
makes 1t a living. breathing charac-
terization and not merely the puppet
of the dramatist.
CHARACTER OF THE MADAME.
Though elevated far above the sta
ton that education and training fitted
her for, and detesting the cold re-
straints and naughty civility that OBJ
tained at court. Madame Sans Gene
never lost her love and regard for the
common people, and her native wit
and shrewd common sense never failed
to carry her to triumph through the
unpleasant scenes in which her crude
ness OF speech and manper constantly
embroiled her. Miss Kidder's concep-
tion of this odd, strange character. was
Il most sympathetic one, and she paint
ed It as she saw 1t with a faithfulness
that makes II valuable addition to
the stage.
Augustus Cooks Napoleon was mas
terly effort. When the curtain-rang up
on the last act and disclosed him seat
ed at a table in his apartment the re-
semblance to the Little Corporal was
startly. Notwithstanding that some will
maintain that Mr.. Cook has not faith
fully reproduced the Napoleon nose
His manner and facial expression show
that he has given much time to re-
search in studying the peculiarities OF
| Napoleon.

Marshal Lefebvre of Harold Russell

Music last night by presenting "The
Buckeye" comedy drama of great
interest. Miss Louis appeared in the

particular, but still succeeds in MAX

running through 1t and to the proper
development of this Miss Louis tai
ents are peculiarly adapted. She sings
and dances well besides being very
clever actress.
Miss Louis is supported by very
competent company. Some of the

S0Nye|' 5 Millinery

The richest picking and the quickest
selling we've had this season. In all the
country there are no brighter shrewder,
better posted women than right here in
Scranton, and the crowds that have visited
our store means something.
The possibilities of trade are simply
wonderful when such novelties and values
are represented. All new goods, no old
stock, with our facilities for buying 1t
would be worse thar folly to deal In
trash. That's when good management
shows itself. and no day without some-
thing newer and more tempting. That's
why this store will always lead.
We have twice over what any other store
in Scranton can show, and we question
whether any stock anywhere represents
better values for the money.

LIFE LINES ON THE FOOT.
Secrets They Reveal 10 the Student e'
Character.

Character.
There IL man In Philadelphia who
claims that IL Ia much easier to read
ones character and past and future
from the maps ON the soles of ones feet
than IL is from the palms Of the hands.
He calls IL 'pedalogy."
The pedalogist, while refusing to tell
the names of the owners of the feet In
most cases, showed number of d Il
grams the other day and explained TO a
reporter how he read the fortunes Of
the soles.
Maxine Elliott, he said, "is pub
lie character, and do not mind men,
tioning her name. Here is her story.
Look mt 1t. It's worth studying, for she
is not only one Of the most beautiful
women on the American stage, but 1t is
remarkable in other ways Her foot is
30 beautifully arched that little Of her
sole touched the paper when she placed
her foot upon IL. The intellectual and
artistic lines are very clearly defined on
her foot, and one need but see and hear
Miss Elliott speak for few moments
to realize that her artistic and mental
capabilities are Of high order. The
lines Of intuition and imagination are
both remarkably long. The cross be-
tween the line Of love and the head line
indicates that i'm love affair Miss Eli
OFT would be governed largely by rea-
son. She has strong affections, accord
ing to the long heart line"
A contrast to Miss Elliott's foot was
that of factory girl from Kensington.
| This was foot common to people Of
little education. There was scarcely any
instep to the foot The lines Of imaRi-
nation. mental capacities and intuition
were very short, and the artistic line
was entirely lacking. The heart and
The lines also indicated firmness and
great ambition, with a decided fondness
for pleasure, 80 the pedaloRist explained.
Still another foot was that of socie-
ty girl. Here again was the high arch.
Il showed. among other things, that she
did not have to stand on her feet. AZ did
the poor factory girl The lines told Of
her having less heart and less ambition
than the factory girl too. There were
selfishness and vanity in the impression.
It seemed well that silk stockings and
dainty shoos usually kept it from the
sight Of those who would read its own
er's character in the soles of that foot.
There was the foot of the preacher
and the policeman and the lawyer. and
each seemed to tell story in keeping
with Its owners vocation and habits.
Last Of all came the print Of the man
about town. There was no arch there.
1t had come down flat footed" II
looked as il II was used mostly in walk
ing up and down fashionable street
and standing about the club. 1t had
good nature and self satisfaction, some
generosity and some brains in it, but
little ambition. n.--Philadelphia Press
