Anent the reception accorded De
Wolf Hopper in Eel Captain" by the
Londoners, the New York World re-
ceived the following cable the other
day:
"El CAPTAIN" which De Wolf Hop
per presented on Monday night at the
Lyric theater, proved rather a dubious
success with the critics. Most of them
found it commonplace, noisy. lacking In
genuine wit. There is some chance that
the public will reverse the judgment.
The first-night audience was composed
largely of Americans, who Were most
enthusiastic, and the houses have been
good throughout the week. Hopper's
joyous personality does not seem to ap-
peal to the Londoners as strongly as 1t
might, but the choruses have been
warmly praised, and Sousa's stirring
march, which furnishes the keynote of
the opera. gives promise OF becoming
very popular.
Ambassador Choate was present and
sat beside Hopper the following night
at the supper given to the American
actors by the Eccentric club. Mr..
Choate told in a witty speech how he
had met Hopper on the day of his
birth and extolled his fun-making quail
tiles even at that early period.
Nat Goodwin caused great merriment

Hen Cheats n Trolley Car.

From the New York Mail and Express.
A singular incident occurred early this
week ON the local trolley road, says the
Glens Falls Times. Motorman Stone was
in charge of the car which figured in the
incident. He was running along the boule-
ward at the usual rate of speed when he
came upon a hen that stood in the middle
of the track The fowl did not move until
it was too late and the car passed over
her. At least the motorman thought
So
The car continued on its way, and after
six hours, in which time several trips
were made over the line of the road it
was sent to the lower station for the
night The cleaning and repair force took
charge of the car, and the trap over the
second motor was raised for the purpose
of oiling the machinery. 1t was then that
a most remarkable sight met the gaze of
the oiler, for there, serenely nestled on the
frame of the motor, was the hen, ap-
parently unharmed and none the worse
for her six-hour ride. The front of ,.ie
car and the first motor had passed over
the hen, when, apparently, the suction
drew her upward and she found a place of
safety on the frame of the second mo-
tor.

HAS BLUE BLOOD IN HER VEINS.
Mrs. Amos Gray of Michigan Is Descended
From the Tudor Family.


Visiting at the home of her daughter,
Mrs Mary Sparks, in Benton Harbo-,
Mich, is Mrs. Amos Gray, a retired,
educated and cultured lady, who &c
sides four miles south of Berrien
Springs. Mrs Gray is a daughter Of
the late Henry Tudor, an English noble,
and she is descendant of the famous
Tudor family of ,vli.ch Queen Eliza
beth and Henry VIII. were members.
Mrs. Gray is T6 years old. Her father
died when she was only IA years old,
and a little later she was married to
Amos Gray. Her husband was teach
er, and in 1889, so years ago, he went
to st. Joseph to carry on his vocation.
The only building in Benton Harbor at
that time was log cabin occupied by
Henry Morton. and situated below the
preserI. Morton hill. Two daughters
and one son of Mr. Morton went to
school to Mr. Gray. The bridge across
the st. Joseph river was built only
half way at that time, so the children
went acros in rowboat part way. In
st Joseph the town was all below the
hill. There was no hotels, but several
boarding houses did a prosperous busi-
ness, The Indians came from the North
at certain times Of the year to trade.
and they encamped near the beach
where the knitting factory now stands.
Mrs. Gray says the lake has recedad
several rods since then. She recalled
with pleasure how she used to go with
her husband to the Indian encampment
and watch the native Americans
weave. On one occasion the red men
were weaving a coffin for a dead COM
panion. A gun, tomahawk and cup be-
longing TO the dead Indian were buried
with the remains.
One institution in the village in 1899
was the Farmers and Mechanics bank.
There was small pier to mark the en-
trance into the harbor, and two steam
ers. the Matilda Barney and David
Crockett, Piled between ST. Joseph and
Mishawaka on the st. Joseph river The
boats brought big cargoes to St. Joseph
from the large distillery then located
at Berrien Springs.
Mrs Gray now lives on her farm near
Berrien Springs. The land was bought
with bounty money paid to Henry Tu-
dor by England for the liberation of his
slaves. The property has never changed
hands, and Mrs. Gray has the original
deed made 63 years ago.
Her father came to this country when
a young man, and with $25, 900 he pur-
chased plantation in the West Indies.
He was born on the island of Barbados
and was educated in Liverpool. Mr..
Tudor owned his own vessels and was
a very rich man.
Mrs Gray has a portrait of her
father. which shows his true nobility.
and she also has the original coat of
arms of the Tudor family.

JAMES KIDDER- -HANFORD
in a Grand Comic Pro-
duction of
"a WINTER TALE"

1t is said that Miss Kidder tainted
when the news reached her and Louis
James will never be able to iron out the
frowns that now set upon his noble
brow.
An English actor thought himself
damaged by criticism of his perform
ance and brought suit at law. The
judge decided that the jury had better
see the actor. But the play in which he
had been condemned was not to be put
in evidence. Indeed, the critics lawyer
claimed that it made no difference, as
the actor was equally bad in all parts.
The judge thought this Indicated a
prejudice on the critics part and fined
him two farthings. The actor had TO
pay the costs of the action, which
amounted to much more. A German
critic recently had to pay a fine of 81
because he said that an actress had not
played a part well through her lack of
personal refinement. The words in
which that opinion was expressed were
decided to be an insult.

Tom was about to go for fuel, when
he saw Tarbox reach behind q rock and
bring out handful of dry twigs and

OF smoke which went curling up the
face of the cliff until it showed distinct

The other men busted themselveswith

Tarbox stood by the fire in silence for

he gave little exclamation Of relief as

rebounded to the ground.

She Repaired wheels.

At one Of the local bicycle clubs the
members were discussing incidents
and experiences Of the last season last
lowing, which goes to prove that there
Is no trade that women can not adopt.
The member said: "While was
touring In the eastern part Of the state
last summer had the misfortune to
pull out several spokes and at the same
time puncture my front tire, cutting 1t
badly. The nearest point where 1
could secure aid was over two miles
distant. 1 found there a small store
where notions Of general character
were sold and a sign reading Bicycles
repaired
10 my amazement, on entering the
place I found that it was in charge of
q sweet faced young woman who did
not look to be over 10 or 20 years old.
She listened to my tale of distress and
then, in very businesslike manner
ventured the advice that the damage
could be repaired in short time. After
looking the wheel over she took it into
the store, and, putting on an apron,
brought forth some tools.
AT first I demurred, but my ohjec-
tons We're received very Independently
and l was assured that If 1 was reluct-
ant to trust the repairs to her l might
go elsewhere. To my surprise the
wheels was turned over to me in first
class condition after half an hours
labor. The charge was exceedingly
moderate.
'Plucking up courage, asked the
young woman how she came to be in
the repair business. She said that it
was question of necessity rather than
choice, as her brother was really the
owner of the place. but as he was to
be absent for several months she was
filling his place She said that she
had been rider and had repaired her
own wheel for several years, and to
this she attributed her success."-Buf-
