This evening at the Hyperion thea ter, Daniel Frohman's New York Ly- ceum theater company will present
 TrelaWney of the Wells" an English play to the backbone. The two lead- ing feminine characters, those of Rose Trelawney and Imogen Parrott, are both taken by English actresses. Miss Hilda Spong created the latter part, having played it in the English as well as the American production of the piece. The part of Rose Trelawney is played by Miss Mary Mannerng, the wife of James K. Hackett Miss Man nering denotes with positively charming effect every one of Rose Trelawney's traits. Her extravaganza, quick tenn per- inherent honesty and loyalty MT. Mason as Tom Wrench with heart of gold and a head full of brains, is earn est, charming and forceful, exactly ill., ing the character. Miss Tyree, as Avonia Bum. is buoyant, comical and pleasantly emotional. Grant Stewart as Ferdinand Gadd is the embodiment of the self-satisfied juvenile; and MT Walcot is richly humorous in his de- lineation of the gouty old vice chancel- Tor; Mrs Walcot as Mrs. Teller Is de- lightfully humorous and pathetic in turn; while the balance of the company numbering thirtytwo people is in the hands of the finest stock company in America.

historian Varrone have been consider ed the most reliable, who put it at the eighth century B. c. The people, haw- ever, who desire a definite date have ever declared that the Eternal City was founded by Romulus 752 B. O., and that the audacious shepherd laid the first stone on the Palatine on April 21 exact ly, so that the city is now 2,652 years old. Now, to the general indignation, the archaeologist, O. Monteius, comes forward with documents to prove that the ancient mistress of the world arose much earlier than eight centuries B. G., there being remains of the ninth tenth, eleventh and twelfth centuries before the Christian era. The conclusion to be drawn Is that Rome has at least the respectable age of S.100 years. that Ro- mulus and his brother have never exist ed, and that the wolf, kept in the cage on the top of Capitoline Hill as confirm ation of the legend, is nothing but an mpostor.-London Pail Mall Gazette.

DREYFUS AT NANTES.

Nantes, Sept. 20,-Captain Dreyfus arrived here this morning from Rennes, accompanied by his brother, M Mathieu Dreyfus; the chief of the secret police, M. Viguier, and one policeman. The party traveled as ordinary passengers. The train reached the station at 9:17 a. m. The Dreyfus brothers alighted on the platform first followed by M. Wig uier, who inquired if they could have a private room. A waiter replying in the affirmative the brothers entered a room and ordered two glasses of milk, while M. Viguier and the policeman remained outside in the public bar.
 InqNiry was then made concerning the Bordeaux train, which, they were in formed, left at S:5S a. m. All four then entered a first-class compartment, in which there were already other passen- gers. It was intended, by thus refrain ing from any attempt to secure privacy, to avoid exciting curiosity, and this ap- parently succeeded. M. Viguier and the policeman only went as far as the first stop, Vertou, whence they returned to Nantes to catch the 1918 p. m express for Paris, leaving the brothers to con- tinue their journey alone. It is believ- ed the Dreyfuses alighted at an inter- mediate station to take fresh start in an unknown direction.

BRADDOCK'S GRAVE.

His Body's Final Interment Near | Unionville, Pa.
 | The grave of General Braddock is near the famous National Road, some eleven miles west of Uniontown, Penn. l The story of his march and his defeat | has never lost it's charm. It has been l glorified in romance and idealized in | poetry. The details of the expedition are familiar-the struggle in the wild | ernesss near the City of Pittsburg the | hopeless rout of Braddock's forces, the pathetic recital of his death, and his
 burial in the road over which the army wagons passed that all traces of his resting place might be removed and his remains preserved from dissertation at
 the hands of the savage. If the tradit-
 ion that Washington read the burial ser
 vice at the improvised grave of Brad
 dock be true the scene must have been
 on of the most impressive and sublime
 in the early annals of our country.
 The remains of Braddock rested in
 the rude and unknown grave that had
 been provided for them from his death,
 in July, 1775, to the year 1872 While
 the road was in. process of repair the
 bones of the fallen General were brought
 to light and after passing through severs al vicissitudes were at last placed in the
 grave where they now rest, near the line of the National Road The spot has
 been inclosed, and cluster of pine trees
 covers the modest space included in the
 little cemetery.
 The direful overthrow of Braddock
 the logical outcome and consequence of his own arrogance, supercilliousness and imaginary omniscience in the art of war has deeper and far more com prehensive significance when we con- template it in the light of contemporary
 developments in Europe as well as in America, and especially in the light of that complex struggle in which it form ed merely an episode or a feature. Braddock, with all the infirmities and frailties which his character or his tenn perament exhibited, was, in the prosecu- tion of his ill-starred campaign, the champion and the propogandist, as com- pared with the civilization of France If the capture of Quebec by Wolfe, four years later, had not arrested the pro- gress of French ascendency in North America and prepared the way for the treaty of Paris, in 1763, by which the supremacy of England was established, I France retaining not an acre of land | upon the North American Continent, l the character of our history in all it's ! essential and distinctive features would 1 have pursued line of development pro- ducing and representing the genius and | spirit of a Roman original, and New | France in America would have become l an accomplished reality, not the mere | dream or illusion of aspiring and de- signing statesmen, nursing the pride and | the ambition of the house of Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC EVENT

Public interest increases in the forth coming performance to be given by the Metropolitan Opera House company, at the Hyperion tneater on Tuesday, October 10 now that the opera to be presented here by the famous organ izaton under the management of Mau- rice Grau has been designated and the names of the principal singers to be employed in the cast announced. Of the artistic and educational value of the representation there can be no question. The wide public acquaint- ance with Faust will cause the chief interest in that production to center in the impersonation of Marguerite by Mime. Emma Calve, and the opportuni- ties 1t will afford of witnessing iliustra- tions of perfect vocal and dramatic art by the great French Drima donna.

 Will be in Dewey Procession.
 A prominent position has been as- signed to the Connecticut troops which
 will take part in the Dewey parade in New York on Saturday, September 30. Colonel Burpee who will be in com
 mand of all the Connecticut troops in
 the parade was in New York Tuesday
 comforting with General Roe. About 3200O men will march in the parade Connecticut's representation will con- sist of about 1,000 men, or, in case the Fourth regiment decides to participate, of 1500
 Colonel Burpee emphatically denies the reports that the Shinnecock, the steamer hired to convey the troops to and from New York, could not get them there in time for the parade The con- tract with the steamboat company re- quires the boat to be ready at New Ha- ven to take the troops aboard at 3 o'clock Saturday morning and to get them at the scene of the parade on time.
 It's the companys duty to get the regiment in New York on time, not mine" said Colonel Burpee yesterday morning. II have not the slightest doubt" the. colonel added, but that the steamboat company will keep it's part of the contract and get us to our destination in ample time. I visited the Shinnecock while in New York Tuesday. She is neat, commodious boat, better than any of the New Haven boats with the exception of the Richard Peck. She is also faster than any of the New Ha- ven boats except the Peck. l talked with her pilot and other officers and they assured me that she could readily make the trip from New Haven to New York in six hours While the c. H. Northam was disa bled last winter the Shnnecock took her place and the aver age time of her trips was about five hours. She was loaded down then with passengers and freight. Of course, she will carry no freight on Dewey day"
 Colonel Burpee further said that prep arations for the railroad transportation of the troops outside of New Haven to and from the boat would not be arrang- ed for until he hears from General Roe as to the time when the parade would start. The hour when the boat will leave New Haven will also depend upon whether or not the Dewey luncheon is abandoned.
