One Of the best plays given the stage
last season was a Virginia COurtship,
a comedy treating OF life in the ola Do
mlnion at a time when the present CEN

This was q time when there was much

a vast amount Of romance in the South.
The penn,e were hospitable, the duelins
code was in constant evidence and many

and apparently he has had nothing in

counts it is likely TO live and he popular

Novel Method Employed by = Chicago
Grocer to Attract Custom.
II you wish t attract people to your
place OF business mako An offer OF
something for nothing. This Is an
axiom of commerce which applies TO
the good people OF Chicago with peeu-
liar force. The desire to win a prize.
no matter II it be intrinsically worth
less. amounts to a passion with Amerl-
cans. The procuring OF something
without price, and If to do SO means
the expenditure Of Z considerable sum
OF money, always brings q reward 10
him who makes the offer. A. grocer
OF the west side has discovered this
fact. He has zone further and is put
ting his knowledge to practical use.
He is anxious that each patron shall
spend a big round dollar with him.
Hence he has put up the following leg
end in his store window: "One peck
OF potatoes or a basket Of peaches with
every dollar purchase" This Offer
was placed in the window a couple OF
DAYS 2 The result was a sudden
interee: in the crafty grOcer's wares.
Everybody wanted the peaches or pc
tatoes and many a dollar was spent
when the purchaser really did not need
that amount of conlmissary stores.
But the spending carried the peck or
basket and the purchases were willing
ly made.

LoBENGUELA's BAD BEHAVIOR.
Police Reason for ArreatinE the

Police Reason for ArreatinE the
Scion of African Royalty.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A London des-
patch referring to the arrest of the South
African Prince Lobengue,a says:
What is now known as the black scan
dali at the South African exhibition,
Earl's court, was again brought to public
attention yesterday by the appearance OF
the black Prince Lobenguela at a West
London police court on charges of behay-
ing in disorderly manner in Lille Road
and causing a crowd to assemble.
The policeman who made the arrest said
that on Sunday night he saw Lobenguela,
fresh from his honeymoon at Eastbourne,
with several other colored men, accosting
respectable white women who passed along
the Lille Road outside the entrance OF the
exhibition. The Prince, it was charged,
took hold of several of the women, who
screamed and ran away. The policeman
said that as he had seen the prisoner act in
that way before he took him into custody.
He also declared 1t was a nightly occur
renee for coiored men outside the gates of
the exhibition to modest women who came
over the bridge. Lcbenguelas defence was
that he knew the women, but he could not
explain why they screamed and fled. The
magistrate said he regretted that the wo-
men who were molested did not appear 10
prosecute. as then he would have been able
to punish the offender severely. He bound
the prisoner over in recognizances for COOL
behavior for six months. and told him 10
keep the peace, otherwise he would get
into serious difficulties.

Music in Americn.

Statisticians say that there is more money
expended for music lessons and musical in
struments in this country than in any other
land except Germany. The inquisitive NAV
be inclined to ask why Americans are not
good musicians, if they are willing to spend
so much money on that branch OF culture
Go into almost any first-class orchestra
and il will be found that large proportion
Of the players are foreigners, and Amerf-
can composers OF genius are few and far
between. On the other hand, Germany is
a nation Of musicians
There are two or three reasons why this
apparent contradiction should exist 1t
should be remembered, for one thing that
a great deal OF the money spent for music
lessons, pianos, organs, and other instru-
ments of music is not wisely expended, ana
in many cases there is no reason why ii
should be spent at all. When a certain
type Of uneducated American begins to
earn fairly good wages, his first thought
is to buy or rent a piano and have some
one in his family, usually the eldest daugh-
ter, begin TO take lessons on 1t. Neither
he, his daughter, nor the music teacher, in
most cases, has the slightest idea of what
good music is. To them playing the piano
is merely polite occupation, indicating
that the player lis lady or gentleman.

KNEADED INTO LIFE AGAIN.
Rescue of n Boy Raked From n Riy-
er's BotfOm.

Somerville, n. J., Sept 5.-Raymond
Snudder the four-year- son OF William
Snudder. of Morristown. fell of of a bridge
into the Raritan River near here yesterday
afternoon. Several small boys on the bank
tried to rescue him but he was drawn be-
yond their reach by the current. He con-
tinued to struggle desperately for his life
amid stream. He was still above the sur
face when Frank Gallagher, an ice man,
jumped from his wagon from the bridge
into the stream and swan to his rescue
Perry VossIer. member of the New Jer-
sey Naval Reserves. who was ON the water
in a boat also FASTENED to the rescue OF
the boy Both men were within few feet
of the little fellow when he sank out of
sight.
The men dived for him until they were
exhausted without finding the body. \
rake was procured and Vossier. in his boat
fished the body out of the stream, several
hundred feet from the place where it sank.
The boy was apparently hfsless when taken
from the water and was given up for dead
by the crowd on the bank. but Vossler at
once brought into play his seamGn's knowI-
edge of resuscitating the drowned.
In the presence of several hundred peo-
pie Vossler rolled and kneaded the body
for nearly an hour. DR.. John Hecht and
other physicians who had been summoned
stood by and viewed Vossler at his desper-
ate task and acknowledged that his skill
was superior to their own. VosSler's face
became almost trance-like and cold beads
of perspiration formed en- his brow as he
continued his operations with desperate de-
termination. He was finally rewarded by
signs Of life in the body and then gave up
his task exhausted. The doctors then took
the body In hand and succeeded in restor-
ing the boy to consciousness after a lapse
of eight hours 1t is believed that the boy
will fully recover.
