Bandmaster John Slater of Canada's
crack military band, the 4Sth High
landers. who will appear at Harper s
theatre afternoon and evening Dec. 5,
is no make-believe soldier-he is a
genuine warrior. He is the only
leader of any of the large bands
who wears a service medal, his brave
part in the northwest rebellion with
the British arms having won him this
distinction. Mr.. Slater is an expert
at broadsword, single stick, bayonet
or foils and is also one of the crack
shots of his regiment; at sword eXer-
else, etc he is always open to a
friendly bout and if there are any Of
our local swordsmen who would like
to test his prowess, it would make an
interesting additional feature for the
program. Among the men are many
British and Canadian veterans who
have also more than once smelled
powder. The Kilties will come TO the
city 40 strong and will parade up the
principal streets at noon; no doubt
hundreds will greet the bare knced
Scottish Canadians.

RUPERT OF HENTZAU"
Mr. Howard Gould Delights Raleigh Theatre
0oers

1t was an intellectual treat to obtain
glimpses of Anthony Hopes Rupert of
Hentzau," as provided for us last night
by Howard Gould at the Academy of
Music. He is an actor of great power
and greater promise for the future. His
genius, supported by a strong company,
made the play of last night one of the
most powerful that will be seen here this
season.
Mr. Gould impersonated both Rudolph
Rassendyll' and king Rudolph" the two
men being cousins and wonderfully alike
in person. though entirely different in
character. The king was querulous and
peevish, while Rudolph was bold brisk
and business-like. The changes of cos.
tune and makeup were wonderful and
made almost in an instant. In both parts
the eminent young actor was equally fine
Ruth Aldridge. who became ill in Rich
mond, is still in the hospital, and her
understudy, Francis Davis, played the
part of Queen Flavia" in an acceptable
manner Frank McGlynn's impersonation
of the daring Rupert" was at times be-
low par, but in the duel scene and letter
episode he was fine, while w. j. Con.
stantines Colonel Sapt'' could hardly be
improved upon by anyone The man and
the character have met.
Rupert of HentZau," as all well know
is a sequel TO the Prisoner of Zenda, :"

human interest, unwilling the workings
of a soul swayed by the great funda-
mental passions. II is a stocy with back
bone, a plot that starts in pretty deep.
and then deepens and thickens as it pro-
ceeds Pistols are thrust under gentle
mems noses in the very presence of the
king in the first act, and by the time
the third is reached a duel with swords
is considered SO tame an affair that the
foils are thrown aside and a "catch-as-
catch can encounter takes place, in
which, OF course, the hero kills his man.
Then the queen is compromised, the
king is killed. to prevent detection OF
the murder his body is burned and
Rudolph impersonates his majesty before
the people and makes love to his widowed
queen. Many other perils he encounters;
enough, in fact, to snuff out the lives of
half dozen ordinary men not protect
ed by book covers or footlights.
Finally, in the last act, Rudolph" is
killed by his enemies and an imposing
funeral pageant closes the Hope episode
of the Zenda histories.

I'm going TO give you three, because you
need the money more than do. He took
his three dollars and worked his way TO
New York, and began TO look for a job.
The only thing he knew how to do was
to set type. No one wanted such an
awkward, overgroWn youth as he was. FL
nally one day he saw an advertisement
in the paper for a boy TO set type. He
was on the doorstep next morning be-
fore the place opened, and got the job.
He set so many type, and his work was
so good, that they kept him, and kept on
keeping him until finally he began to
keep them. That was Horace Greeley.

something for nothing than to do nothing

him something better to do"
He told the story of a young man and
young girl who had been helped in get
ting an education, and told how hard they
worked and how they denied themselves
to reach the goal, and the final success
of both, and added: IF there is a girl

CHASTITY FIND IN A LAKE.
Skull Of a Woman in a Gunny Sack in
Cedar Lake.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2.-Experts on bones
viii be called upon TO determine the
character Of a skull found in Cedar
Lake. A portion Of the scalp and some
Of the teeth were dragged from the
lake by searching party, but no other
portion Of the body was found.
Sheriff Lawrence, Of Crown Point,
Ind, says:
Although We are completely at sea
regarding the identity of the unfortu-
nate whose head was found in Cedar
Lake. yet we have two points worked
out which may enable US to eventually
clear up the mystery The head is that

to it tell the Stcry. We have had sew
eral dentists examine the plate. They
all say it is from the mouth Of a
medium sized wOman-that it is too
small to have been from the mouth Of
a man"
Sheriff Lawrence has also evolved a
startling theory in the mysterious hnd
and that is that the head is none other
than that Of Pearl Bryan. who was
murdered at CovingtOn, KY, a few
years ago. The head of Miss Bryan
was taken away in a gunny sack like
that which inclosed, the find in Cedar
Lake. and she wore a plate in her
mouth.
