in New York

New York, Jan. 4.-Forty-five bright
girls, graduates of Smiths college,
Northampton, Mass, gave two perform
ances of Shakespeare Midsummer
Nights Dream at the Carnegie Ly-
ceum in this city Saturday There was
an afternoon performance, and another
in the evening, and the proceeds will
be added to the class fund for an acad-
emic building.
The interesting feature of the enter
tainment was the fact that the cast is
composed entirely of girls, who, in fact,
have managed ything-fnanceS,
stage setting, all except the acting,
which has been taught by a Brooklyn
instructor
They designed and made their cos
tunes. and in MANY cases dyed the ma
terial for these when it was impossible
to procure the right shade.
The girls Travelled from distant points
to take part in the play, and many of
them were accompanied by friends and
relatives.

JEROME PARK RELICS.
Gold Guineas and Skeletons Found by
Workmen.

New York. Jan. 4.-Scarcely a day
passes that some one of the hundreds
of workmen employed in turning old
Jerome Park into a city reservoir does
not turn up some relic that has been
hidden in the earth for hundred years
or more. Gold guineaS and skeletons
have been found while making the ex-
cavations, and household articles which
were in use during colonial days.
Several of the guineas have been
found, the dates ranging from 1749 to
1875 The coins are larger and thinner
than the present English sovereigns,
and the light yellow gold indicates a
very pure quality of metal. The coins
were found near Sedgwick avenue, I'M
ces of the earthworks still remain in
the group of trees behind the house
formerly occupied by Mr.. E. f. Games.
Two human skeletons We're dug up
on the site of the reservoir about ten
DAYS ago. They were almost complete
and fairly we'll preserved. The skele-
tons were found three feet below the
surface, and their skulls indicated that
they were intelligent white men. Po-
lice Captain Donahue had the skeletons
buried in a cemetery.
Other articles, chiefly of household
use, have been found by the workmen,
which are undoubtedly relics of Colonial
days. Cannon balls and shells are dug
up almost daily on the site of what was
old Fort Independence. Two bayonets
have been found. Their blades are Is
preserved under a thick coat of rust.
Alarge collection of similar relics was
found across the Harlem river on the
site of old Fort George recently by
workmen who were making excava-
lions for the new Fort George Casino.

ANNA HELD WAS LATE.
Captivated by transporting Duchess, ,
She Delayed Her Appearance at
the Columbus

Chicago, Jan. Anna Held was to
play in 1.-THE Parlor Match at the
Columbus theater Saturday night, but
she stopped at the Harlem Opera House
to see 1.-The Sporting Duchess and
stayed there.
Aren't you playing truant, mademoi-
selle?" somebody asked at the door.
"Oh. no." she replied sweetly, q have
plenty of time
The play captivated Miss Held's fancy
and she lost herself in her contem-
plation.
At the Columbus Evans and Hoey

four times and even five. The crowd
grew restless. Where is Anna Held?

and dispatched by messengers, tele-
graph and telephone.
Miss Held's manager invaded the au-
ditorium of the opera house. 1t was in
an interval in the play when the lights
are out. He CROPPED in the dark. Then
the audience heard her voice:
'Saperlipopette."
Miss Held hurried out, took the first
carriage that she saw and arrived at
the Columbus theater twenty minutes
late.

WILL BUCK GOULD.
"Gas" Addicks Will Make Matches in
Competition With Diamond Co.

Philadelphia. Pa. Jan. 4.-"Gas" Ad-
dicks, candidate for the United States
senate from Delaware, is going into the
business of manufacturing matches in
competition with the Diamond Match
company and Edwin Gould.
Recently Mr. Addicks became inter
ested in a machine for making matches
which has been patented by an inven-
tor manner Kelly, formerly the master
machinist of the Diamond Match com
pany.
The Kelly Match Machine Company
has been organized with capital pro-
vided by Addicks, and it is understood
that in addition to making the machines
the company will also manufacture
matches.
There is some possibility however.
that the Diamond Match company will
contest the right of Kelly to the ma
chine.

WHY ANEW CONSTITUTION
Lawyer Schoch Names Some of the
Reasons Against It.

w. F. schoch. the Topeka lawyer,
said today:
IF I were to view the question of a
constitutional convention in a purely
selfish spirit, I would say: Give US
the convention and a new constitution
at once with all the litigation that
would naturally follow until every ar
ticle and section of the constitution
could be construed by the supreme
court.
LAS a citizen of the state, I am op-
posed to the constitutional convention.
Our present constitution is good enough
and it strikes me if our national con-
stitution, after more than 100 years of
wear and tear, with fifteen patches
here and there, has been sufficient for
an aggressive people, growing from s.
900, 900 to 100000 600 in population, as it
seems to. have been, Notwithstanding
the great civil war, there is no proprie-
ty in talking of a new constitution in
one of the states not yet 40 years old
and with less than ], 500. 900 inhabitants.
Our state constitution must be in
harmony with that of the nation. Are
we likely to keep it so by attempting
to make a new one in the present con-
dition of politics in the west?
Our state constitution reflects the
settled and advanced ideas of our peo-
pie. It's doubtful sections and phrases
have been construed by the supreme
court in most instances fairly and i'm
partially and where such is not the
case, it can be amended with but little
expense and serve US well for years to
come.
Il observe" concluded Mr.. Schoch,
that about the only people who de-
mand a. constitutional convention, are
the extreme resubmissionistS, the ex-
IRENE equal suffragists and class OF
politicians who want a job.

ful in battle, why should not Gomez con-
quer with Gypsy -
