ssSHORE ACRES.
Presented For the First Time to a
Topeka Audience.

Although James A. Herne'S delightful
play Shore Acres has been before the
public for the past seven years, 1t was
not until Saturday that Topeka people
were given the opportunity of seeing At
The weather interfered materially with
the attendance, unfortunately for the
theater goers, and neither the audience
at the matinee or evening performance
was so large as the production deserved
When Mr.. Herne wrote Shore
Acres" he gave to the American stage
probably the most truly realistic play
of the present century. The mateT1al
with which he worked In its construc-
ton was human nature and the natural
occurrences of every day life, ana ne
succeeded in fashioning a story as thor
oughly artistic as it is interesting. When
he placed it before the public its accept
ance was instantaneous, and as long as
a cast as capable as that seen at the
Crawford theater Saturday is employed
in it's presentation, the public Will con-
tinue to appreciate il.
The part of Nathaniel Berry" created
by Mr.. Herne, is now in the hands OF
Mr.. Archie Boyd. Whatever Mr.. Herne's
Interpretation of the part of the gentle,
elf-sacrificing old man may have been,
1t could not have surpassed that or Mr..
Boyd His work is consistent, ana
every effective point is made in a quiet
way entirely in keeping with the char
acter
To place any one of the principals
supporting Mr.. Boyd before another
would be unjust. All seem to have
InOrOuSn conception InelT respective
parts and make the most Of them. Miss
Marie Falls as Helen Berry" has prob
ably the most difficult work in the piece
but she proves herself capable. of sus-
tanning it. Mr. Atkins Lawrence's MAR
tin Berry is exceptionally well done,
and the character acting of George K.
Henrey as Joel Gates is above critic
ism. William H. Burton as Josiah
Blake" Herbert F'lansburg as sam
Warren" and Belle Theadore as Ann
Berry are all that is expected of them.
The company includes three very clever
children, Eva and Emily Clifton and
Gladys Crolius, who do much toward
giving the play its natural cOloring.
The is just one feature in Shore
Acres that seems to be inconsistent.
This is the naming of Helen's baby.
should be named "NathanieP' but not
one way the parents should give him
the name of Martin" after Helen's
father. At the opening of the play
Helen tells Uncle Nat" that she some
times wishes he was her father instead
of his brother, and during the course
of the performance no love is shown
young physician, who becomes Helen's
husband, has assuredly no reason for
feeling the slightest affection for his
wife's father, but still the audience is
told in the last act that he suggested
the name of Martin" Mr.. Herne, it is
not at all consistent. Unlike the re-
lationS existing between the parents
and the father, the great affection is
shown between Helen and Uncle Nat"
him and her husband. The kind old
benefactor and adviser should have
been the one person selected to honor in
the christening of the infant.

ADDICKS' LAST CHANCE.
Delaware Legislature Enters
Upon the Final Struggle.

Dover, Del, March 13-Intense ex-
element attended the meeting of the
joint assembly on this last day of the
legislature. During the morning there
was much interest over a reported COM
lar Republicans to elect Levi G. Broad
of Wilmington, regular Republican.
Democrats however were afraid that
any attempt on their part to interfere
In the Republican factionaI fight might
induce some Democrats to vote for ].
Edward Addicks, and thus secure his
election. The Democrats did not hold
conference. The union Republican men,
bers conferred and agreed to stand by
Addicks to the end. The regular Re
publicans decided to support Col. Henry
A. Dupont. ex-senator Anthony Hig-
gins and the Rev. Jonathan s. Willis,
alternately.
The one hundredth ballot for United
States senator was taken by the joint
assembly this afternoon. It resulted as
follows: Addicks 20; Willard Sauls-
bury Cd u; Anthony Higgins 10; Geo.
Gray 6; Col Henry A. Dupont Greg. Rep
1; John BIggs (Dem.) l; absent 1; to-

Two Democrats, Senator Farlow and

TO LIVE 100 YEARS.
Queer Club to Have a Banquet in New
York

New York, March 13-All who favor
living to be 100 years old are invited to
rise in meeting when the "One Hundred
Year club meets in the Waldorf-Astor-
ia on March % and tell how best to ac-
complish that end.
While the large part of the members
are resident of this city and state, Cali
fornia, Maine, Nebraska, Germany,
France, Belgium, Bulgaria, England,
Ireland, and Scotland are represented
It is believed that the club can be made
international.
Many intelligent people believe that
new way has been discovered by which
human beings can round out a century.
From the letters of applicants it is seen
that they are of the opinion that by oc-
cult science the method by which Me-
thuselah reached a ripe old age has
been unearthed. They want the knowl-
edge and are willing to pay for it.
Others, knowing that the club has
been formed, for the purpose Of regulat-
ing the mode of life which, through
modern civilization, is taking men to an
early grave, are willing to try and
correct existing evils.
To provide a banquet that would be
countenanced by all would drive the
chef into an insane retreat, so every fell
low will be asked in advance what he
wants to eat. The club is not organized
an behalf of temperance. Members can
drink, smoke and take snuff if they so
desire. In the race for a hundred years
of life each man and woman is allowed
to choose his or her own course.

EXTRA PAY VOTED
To Naval Recruits Has Been Over
looked.

New York, March ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Congress in the closing hours Of the
last session provided an honorarium for
the naval volunteers who saw active
service in the war with Spain by an
item inserted in the deficiency act,which
has apparently escaped the attention of
the men affected, judging from the fact
that only single claim under it's pro-
visions has thus far been fled. The
clause, which appears under the head
ing Naval Establishment in the de-
ficiency appropriation act, is as follows:
The officers and enlisted men compris-
ing the temporary force Of the navy
during the war with Spain who served
creditably beyond the limits of the
United States and who have been or
who may hereafter be discharged, shall
be paid two months extra pay, and all
such officers and enlisted men of the
navy who have SO served within the
limits of the United States and who
have been or may hereafter be dis
charged shall be paid one months extra
pay.

CHIEF STRAUSS REPLIES.
Says he Il Being Unjustly Criticised
by Some People.

Chief Strauss has read the criticism
of his actions as chief of police in the
last issue Of The Good Citizen" a pa
per published by the young peoples
Good Citizen League.
Before making such criticisms and
such statements" said Chief Strauss,
they should post themselves. The ar
ticle in question criticised the manner
in which the jointists were being ar
rested, etc. Many of the statements
are false and they should learn the
facts before INDUCING in criticism. They
can obtain facts by calling upon me and
1 will do all 1 can to inform them and
show them the true state of affairs. L
am yet to be visited by a member of the
Ministerial Union or this league that is
so much interested in the joint Ques-
ton. What they say in regard to the
arrangement of being pulled is mis-
construed. 1 said that by pulling joint
lists for selling liquor that evidence
would be accumulated that could be
used in a charge Of maintaining a nuis-
ance. I have no apologies to offer but
when persons are ignorant of the facts
they should not be too free to criticise.
If they wished to be enlightened they
can call on me and I will spend time
with anyone who wishes to look into
affairs"

Chicago.

Chicago, March 13.-The Chicago COL
ony, Isle of Pines, a cooperative agri-
cultural community, has been organized
here. As the name indicates, it will be

the soil, the healthfulness of the island
and the best measures to adopt to Sc
cure land.

tiVated to some extent.

THEY TOOK "TEA."
That Was the Popular Beverage in
st. Louis Yesterday.

st. Louis March 13.-The law prohib-
iting the sale of liquor on Sunday was
more rigidly enforced yesterday than on
the preceding Sunday. The strict watch
kept by the police and others led to
many novel schemes to defeat the ends
of the law. In large hotels down town
tea" was the great substitute. Men
who never drank it before drank tea
in large quantities at meal time and
other times This beverage was fur
nished by the walters, and in many in
stances it was discovered that the con-
tents of the exquisite little pots were,
instead of steaming tea, hot Scotch,
Irish or common toddy.
Back doors and side doors were close
ly guarded throughout the city by sa-
IoonkeeDers or employees. but despite
the vigilance displayed by them the po-
lice gathered in a number of bartenders
and proprietors.
