The COIumb a.

The Frawley players showed their winning
card last evening in presenting the Holland
brothers successful play, "A Social Highway
man"
Like all popular and successful plays of the
present day the "Hlghwayman" is a dramati-
cation of a successful novelette,. The ada ptor.
Miss Mary T. Stone, has managed to keep the
thread of the written story well in hand, and
has grouped her characters in striking scenes
forming series of strong dramatic pictures
THE Social Highwayman" is essentially a
mans play, that Is, all interest centers round
the male characters. They get the telling
lines; they control the situations and in all
the best scenes in the play only the men take
part. The women used as a pictureso u e
background; sort OF sub-plot to lend tone
and light to the more severe scenes
The leading motive in THE Social Highway
man" presents nothing absolutely new. How
ever, there is Il scene, spiritual seante, that
has heretofore never been seriously used
The playwright has handled it clearly and
worked { up 10 point of in tense interest
Frank orthing as Courtice Jaffrey, the Social
Hlghwaymau, and Frederic Perry as HANDY
have the two star parts of the plav. WorthinP
plays his role with Al the saugfroid one is
used TO associate with pic uresque highway
men, social or otherwise. Perry made a
pOrtunities for posing, but this clever young
man skillfuly avoided all the snares a play
wright had laid for an unsuspccting actor
The ladies OF the cast had little TO do save
wear gorgeous gowns and look lovely They
fulfilled THESE requirements To the letter
The play is handsomely mounted and should
draw crowded houses during the week.

SALT WATER SPRINKLING.
The Experiment Market Street on
sunday Was a Success.

The Experiment on Market Street on
Sunday Was a Success.
The Merchants Association last Sunday
made the experim Mt of sprinklng Market
street with salt water from the ferries to
Tenth street. Yesterday L. NJ. King. the
superintendent for the association, made
a report, in which he says:
Three sprinklingcarts were used and the en-
tire surface of the district above mentioned
was sprlnked three times between A. NJ and
p. NJ That portion between East ana Second
streets being very dry was sprinkled four
times. The good effect of sprinkling Marke t
street on sunday was very evident in the
freedom from dust along the portion of tho
street so Sprinkled and the annoyance from ii
on thai portion above Tenth street.
In addition to this experiment yesterday we
have also sprinkled with salt water, for three
days during the past week. the north side and
center OF Market street. from Jones TO Fell I;
Fifth street, from Market to Mission, and Mis-
sion street, from Fourth to Sixth.
The difference between fresh and salt water
sprinkllng is very marked and the results at
lained go far all that were antiel pated
Salt water, when used for spriukling, has
many advantages over fresh.

NOTES FROM THE HUB.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. ]

There is an important mercantile
agency conducted at the state house. Of
which but little Is known outside Of the
insurance companies ami the large busi-
mes firms. This department of the busi-
ness OF the commonwealth is conducted
10y Fire Marshal Whitcomb in conjunc-
tion with the duties Of his office. 1t is
an invaluable bureau Of reference for
the insurance companies and such busi-
ness men as are aware Of its existence
and its worth. To the former il is indls-
pensible and the latter are beginning
TO appreciate it. Fire MarChal Whit
comb tirst opened his mercantile agency
ten years ago. when he was the fire mar
shal Of the city of Boston, and. when the
Office Of State Fire Marshal was created
in 1894. he extended the system to cover
the whole state. He has a complete rec
cord Of the fires in the city for period Of
ten years and Of the state for four. \
large cabinet in the outer office contains
the records and by a perfect arrange
nent Of indiCes any case may be referred
TO at moments notice. There are many
volumes Of these indiCes each contain
ing the record Of a year. The caSs are
irdeXed by names, alphabetically. and
by towns. Reference is made - fhe
number in the folio or daily recorH In
this book each case has a number, and by
that it is known throughout the records.
In the daily record is a concise statement
of the fire. It gives the city or town in
which it occurred, the alarm, the charac-
ter Of the structure and by whom owned
and occupied. The kind of business for
which the building was used is also
given, and in another column are ytated
the origin of the fire, the insurance on
building and contents and other import
ant details. If an inquest has been held
on fire, reference is made to a separate
file wherein are contained all the papers
IN the case. When man applies to an
insurance company for insurance the
company may go to the fire marshals
office, and if the applicant has ever had
a fire in his store in this state his record
will be found. Some man may have an
enemy who.setS fire to his building Such
a one is not a desirable one to have on the
books of an insurance company. Some
men seem to be pursued by strange ia
talty Insurance companies may not be
SuperStitiouS. but they are not likely to
desire the business OF man who has had
half dozen fires in his places of business.
Honest fires as we'll as dishonest fires
are tabulated in this department. Such
a system has resulted in a great deal Of
good thus far. and enables the fire mar
shall to put his hand on the record OF any
suspected person at moments notice.
If this system was used in every state,
ii is the opinion OF thu head Of the de

A contributor to the New York
Evening Post finds himself able. in
reviewing the manners Of contempo-
rary American men, to aver that the
rising generation of boys is a great
deal better bred than the lot that pre-
ceded them. For purposes of com
parison he classifes Americans whose
behavior has come under his per
sonal observation into gentlemen Of
the old school, surviving examples Of
which were still eXtant in his youth,
gentlemen of school which began
about 1875, and the youths of the
present period He relates a Dumber
of affecting characteristics OF the
school of 1875, and praises its latter
dav successors as being more civil,
more deferential to their elders, and
better balanced, as shown in their
being much less apt to fall over one
another in offering attentions to casual
and unidentified Englishmen who may
have struggled over to this country.
In this new school of better Ameri-
cans this observer sees 1.-THE influence
of their mothers-those women we
knew AS girls. and who were 50 far
ahead of their brothers and husbands
in refinement and culture To have
seen these girls marry and bring up
their sons so well has been, he says,
a satisfaction and a compensation for
many delusions.
