David Belasco's famous play, 1.-The
Heart of Maryland, which is to be
presented at the Burtis this evening
and at Harper's theatre Sunday even
ing, is one of the few plays now pat
ent upon the English speaking stage
that is natural, not exaggerated in the
heroicism of it's situation nor over
strained for the sake of effect in the
narration of its story. It's theme is
a woman's love, and her struggle to
protect and shield from harm the one
to secure whose happiness she devotes
all the energies of her nature is the
animate motive and absorbent interest
of its action. After its triumphant
success in every leading city in this
country, its presentation during the
past spring and summer in London,
England, at the Adelphi theatre,
crowned its American company and
the author with the laurels of an ar
tistic and literary triumph seldom
accorded to the dramatic work of
those foreign to the English stage.
Throughout its long series of perform
ances it ran nightly, applauded to the
very echo by crowded and enthusiast
tic audiences, of which the nobility and
the most cultured of the metropolitan
playgoers were conspicuous in their
demonstrations of approval. There
is no denying that this play is worthy
of the most liberal patronage of our
theatre goers. 1t is splendid pro-
duction of dramatic skill and enter
prise. Moreover, it is interpreted by
cast that is nearly perfect as it
would seem possible.

Can Cubans Govern Themselves

One of the best known diplomats recently
declared that the Cubans are incapable OF
governing themselves, and that the United
States must maintain its present control in

GROUND HOG SOCIETY.
Continued from Third page.

assent bly, that has congregated on the
street, is sight worth going many
miles to behold. Soon after the COM
mittee reported the secret session
closed.
After hearty dinner had been par
taken of, the meeting convened in
general session, and the president
raped for order with a gavel made
out of the broken stock of a Mauser
rifle, found on the battlefield of San
tiago, and was made present to this
society by the delegates from the
ground hog society of Scott county,
Iowa
In his opening remarks the presi-
dent reviewed the past history of the
society; how its teachings had so mar
velously contributed to the success of
every farmer and business man who
had embraced its doctrines and faith
fully followed its instructions, and
predicted that before many decades
elapsed the true doctrine of ground
hogology would be universally ac-
cepted. Short addresses were made by
the delegates from other societies,
corroborating all that the president
had said in regard to the wonderful
success attained by all followers of
the faith.
Old Hunters Address.
The main feature of this session
was the address of the old hunter.
Whatever he says goes in the society
and out of it, too, for that matter.
He digests the report of the commit
tee, and from that report is the fore
cast made that gives us the weather
we are sure to have. Listen to the
phrophet's words:
Mr.. President and Me mbers of our
Society: 1t has been my custom to
give portions of my history in my an
uual address at. our regular meeting,
and this being the day which COM
pletes the century of my existence, it
is fitting that l make known to you
my parentage. The earliest of whom
| have 4 reliable history was Hans
Won Grinhawk, a German seaman.
who was a member of the crew of the
Half Moon, commanded by Henry
Hudson, in 1909, when he assembled
the Hudson river on his way from Am
sterdam to China, but ran out of navi-
cation at the mouth of the Mohawk
river and returned; but Hans stopped
Iroquois tribe of Indians and married
the chiefs daughter. History does
not record another instance of Dutch
and Indian mixture, and to this cross
my family attributes our supernatural
powers exhibiting half moon shaped
silver badge, on the diverse of which
was the cut of a Dutch ship, and on
the reverse the name Hans Won Grin
hawk, Aug. l, 5000. This jewel has
been worn by one selected member of
every generation from that day to the
present. 1t was during the time that
Hans was a member of the Iroquois
tribe and also of the Six Nations, which
everything from the Hudson
to the Mississippi, that groundhog
ology first attracted the attention of
the American settlers. Today every
state has its ground hog society, COM
posed of the most intellectual and en-
ergetic citizens.
Many people have wrong impress
sion regarding the ground hog, and
that is that all ground hogs look alike

People Becoming Better Judges of

The demand for Grape-Nuts has
been such that the large wholesale

more than 100 to $50 cases in every
thousand required during the past
two months, although the factory at
Battle Creek, Mich, has been run full

past. They report the completion of
new machinery, which increases the
output fourfoId, and will from now
on undertake to keep jobbers stocked.
Grape-Nuts have made a great hit,
as the food appeals to palate, stomach

The Tri-Citv Labor congress COM
mittee on the street railway franchise
extension met last night at the Rock
Island Industrial home While the
conference was held behind closed

a repetition of Sundays session of the
congress, speeches being made both
friendly to and against reasonable
concessions to the company, and
while it is understood that the action
was unfavorable to the granting of a
franchise under the conditions as APP
piled to Moline, no concessions were
suggested and nothing done as far as
Rock Island was concerned. j. r.
