These secret articles included paragraph

is noted by the coaches as one OF the

able eleven later in the season.
Tom Burke, the worlds quarter-mile
champion, intends to make bid for the
Harvard eleven. Tom knows the game
well, gained by his varied experience as
back on the Boston English High School
team, and his physical equipment would
allow him to squeeze through some mar
row breaks in the line, and with small
opening he could discount any half back
getting down the field.

An electric tandem, which is believed

During trial on track the machine

which is equal to 1.30 gait, and which
clearly demonstrated that great speed

STORY OF FLORENCE FROST
A Relative Tells of Her Life
From the Time She Left
This City.
BROUGHT UP IN LUXURY
The Former Wilmington Society
Belle, Who Was Found in q
Chicago Hotel. Drowned
Her Sorrow in
Drink.

There are two sides to the story of
Florence Frost, the heiress and former
Wilmington society belle, who is now q
servant girl in a Chicago hotel.
One is hers and the other is her
family's. The family's story is told by
Samuel M. Mcpherson of Brooklyn, who
was in this city looking up the records
as to the property left Mrs. Frost.
He said, "Yes, l have found Florence
Frost, but we all wish she was safe in
Heaven"
"She was br, ught up in luxury" said
Mr.. MCPHERSON. "She was sent to
school and college. She had everything
that money could buy to make her
happy. She had beauty and intelligence.
But now | read of her in Chicago-ar-
rested.
''Florence Frost's grandmother was
my great aunt. Her maiden name was
McCaulley. Her family was wealthy and
had fine social position. Her father
was attorney-general of this state, and
her grandfather was a wealthy real es-
tate man. When he died he was regarded
as very rich.
"Mr. McCaulley's first wife was Flor
ence's grandmother. He married again,
and on his death he left all his estate,
now doubled, to his second wife. All Of
it was to 60 to the grandchildren at her
death.
''It was in 1884 that the girl left her
home in this city. She fell in love with
a good-looking young fellow, George L.
Frost, who had good position in the
Internal Revenue office in Philadelphia.
Soon after they went to Bayonne, n. j.,
where the young husband was chemist
in big chemical works. They had
beautiful home. There was another
woman, jealousy and bitterness, and at
last a broken home. The husband disap-
peared and with him the light of the
young wife's life went out.
"From that day Florence Frost began
to sink lower and lower. Her family
found that she had learned to drown her
woe in drink, and SO they dropped her
from their minds, though no power on
earth could deprive her of the fortune
that would be hers the day her step
grandmother died.
"More years passed, and again they
read of Florence Frost in the news
papers, this time in Cleveland. She had
been picked up IN the streets vagranC-
this heiress to $1,000 Last Christmas
they sent her to the workhouse there.
"Her time up, they let her 60. Again
Florence Frost dropped out of sight.
Five months ago she was heard of once,
more, this time it was intoxication and
arrest in Chicago. This woman-she
was thirty now and looked fifty-had
been disorderly in the public streets.
" If it's true, said Florence Frost
simply, when told of her good fortune in
Chicago, then shall spend it all to
find my little boy Perhaps have been
wrong, but only God knows who is to
blame for it all
"Florence Frost's old-time beauty still
shows it traces She speaks the English
of cultivated woman, and has the man
ners of one born to better place than
maid-of-all-work in a cheap hotel"

WONDERLAND TO REOPEN.
Rebuilt, RemOdeled and Refitted the
New Wonderland Begins the

New Wonderland Begins the
Season.
Dockstader is back.
The Wonderland will reopon on Mon
day night.
The Wonderland has been ever since
its opening in this city, and the new
Wonderland, which inaugurates its sea-
sons business, will not only maintain
the popularity of the past but greatly in
crease it.
On March 3 of this year the Wonder
land was Quilted by fire, which began
shortly after midnight and burned fierce
ly until daylight.
From the ashes of the old theatre has
risen new Wonderland. The whole
interior was torn out and entirely re-
modelled, and the work of rebuilding
was commenced under the personal su-
pervision Of Mr.. Dockstader.
The result is credit to Mr.. Dock
stader and to the city and the house is
now one of the prettiest and neatest
playhouses in the country.
No expense has been spared to make it
down.to-date and attractive.
The stage has been materially enlarged
and added facilities for scenic and me-
chanical effects installed, until it is a
marvel of mechanical perfection.
A scenic artist of we'll known ability
has been employed in the painting of
new scenery to replace that which was
destroyed in the flames.
The electrical lighting system has been
improved and the house will be COM
fortably heated by the most modern
steam heating apparatus. Added con-
veniences in the way of telephones, mes
senger calls and toilet rooms 60 to make
up sum total of completeness.
A comfortable gallery reached by d.
rect entrance from the street is one Of
the improvements
A complete view OF the stage can be
had from every seat in the house.
Over 1000 persons can be seated and it
is safe to say that the performances
which will witness vacant seat will be
few and far between.
The house has reputation for playing
none but the best people in their several
lines and Mr. Dockstader announces that
the.standard will be maintained.
Twenty-one artists are booked for the
inaugual bill and the quality is a good
forecast of the policy OF the manage
ment.
They are all stars.
