"THE SPAN OLE LIFE"

The teaching of a great moral or
historical lesson, or the interjection
into the characters of an overwhelm-
ing humanity, is the only way in which
a play can be made really great and Sc
cure universal and lasting popularity.
1t is the combination of all these
qualifications that has made Shakes
peare as strong to-day as in the seven
teenth century, while his cOntemporar-
les are forgotten and their works are
only read by antiquarians. 1t was
the incorporation by the distinguished
dramatist. Sutton Vane, of these very
ideas into his great play, THE Span of
Life that made It a wonderful sue
cess in every country where theatres
are built and where acting is recog-
nized as an art. For six years "The
Span of Life" has been played with
success and undimmed popularity. Its
record has never been equaled by a
modern play, and its production this
season is as welcome as ever. 1t will
be seen tomorrow afternoon and
night at the Opera House, and will be
presented by the strongest company OF
metropolitan actors ever before en-
gagged in melOdrama in this country
and will include the world famous
Donazettas, the skillful and daring
acfoOats whose feats have astounded
the entire athletic world.

GOLDFARB HAS TROUBLES.
FLED TO AVOID CONTRIBUTING TO
HIS WIFE'S SUPPORT.

Easton, Nd. April 1S.-Formerly
the foreman OF the Easton umbrella
factory was Simon Goldfarb, an Aus
trian, from Trieste, who had been liv-
ing in Philadelphia, whence he came to
Easton. Some weeks ago there came a
woman 10 Easton, claiming to be Cold
farb's wife who made an accusation Of
nOn-suppOrt before a justice of the
peace. Goldfarb admitted that she
was his wife, but denied the charge of
non-suppOrt. Although a stranger, he
had conducted himself with propriety,
and had no difficulty in giving bail for
his appearance at court. She was his
second wife, and he had married her in
Philadelphia. Goldfarb said there was
no living with her, but he sent her a
part of his wages every month. His
first wife died before he came to this
country.
Some days ago Goldfarb hired a
horse and buggy from Liveryman Ca
rey to take drive into the country,
paying for it in advance. He never re-
turned. Saturday Mr.. Carey got an
anonymous postal card saying his team
was at Harrington. Del. He went there
and found it. The Harrington livery
man told Mr. Carey that the man who
brought the team acted very strangely,
not even telling him to feed,the horse.
1t is supposed he fed to escape the ap-
preaching term of court.

Special io the Evening journal
New Castle, April lS.-Word has been
received here OF peculiar. though not
unpleasant experience that Lieutenant
George B. Rodney, OF the Twenty-sc

Lieutenant Rodney is the son of John

TEMPERANCE PLAY TONIGHT.

"Ten Nights in a Barroom,' which
comes to the Grand Opera House to-
night, is one of the best-known OF
American dramas, and has held the
boards through a long series of years,
in spite of marked changes in dramatic
fashions since its original production.
1t has a certain power of its own as an
illustration of a common social trag-
edy, and has always maintained re-
markable popularity. The cast is well
selected for the piece, and presents a
faithful picture of one side Of life in
a village.
