MR.. HANFoRD AT HOME.
May Have a Decentralization of Novel
For Next Season.

Charles B. Hanford has returned with
a record Of good business for Private
John Allen" The name appears to be
one to conjure with, says the Washing
ton Star
THE loss by fire of scenery which
would have enabled me to give any
Shakespearean play I might select has
influenced my plans for next season.
said Mr. HanfOrd, although it Is prob
able that / shall make at least one
Shakespearean production. The season
has demonstrated that Private John AL
len was in touch with the popular de-
mand In only two cities were the
criticisms unfaVorable. The season has
been a highly satisfactory one and L
shall probably have another play of a
a drama tized novel. I am fully aware
that the dramatized novel is being
pretty hard pushed by managers, but
there is no reason in my opinion why the
plots and characters of novels should
not continue to suggest plots and char
acters for plays. If the novel, as some
one has suggested, is only a pocket edi-
ton of a theater, the transplanting of
story to the atmosphere of the foOtlightS
is only a natural step. There are, how
ever stories quite unsuitable for dramat-
ic purposes and it is the forcing Of
these into service for dramatic material
that has aroused protest against the
dramatized novel. A play must have
story. there is perhaps no better way Of
getting a good basis for the dramatist
shelves. But the use Of successful au-
thor's name or a successful novels title
as a mere advertisement is quite an
other thing"

eight months. Mr.. Hemus applied for
the position and was engaged as soon
as his voice was heard.
Mr.. Hemus was born in Auckland,
New Zealand, but calls Colorado Springs

lily, though none Of the other members
of it have made music their profession.
He is known favorably through the
west. and has sung with all the leading
musical societies there. He has a large
repertoire, and is proud of the fact that
only Americans have had charge of his
education. To be a. leading Americon
singer taught by American teachers
seems to be his ambition.
His voice is under good control, full
and of a beautiful quality Many men
sing well, with good method and in an
artistic manner, who have no temper
ament Mr.. Hemus unites many merits
IN his voice, and has the power of touch
ing the hearts as We'll as pleasing the
ears of his audience. He has had almost
constant engag ements in the winter. and
has high prospects for another season.

GOATS TO CLEAR LAND.
Illinois Farmer Secures 100 Angoras
to Exterminate Thicket.

Decatur, Ill, May 11.-Louis A. Mills
unloaded 100 Angora goats at his farm,
eight miles from Decatur, today, and
they at once began on the job of clean
ing off 40 acres, for which he brought
them from Kansas They have just fin
ished the clearing of 1900 acres.
The goats like the leaves, buds and
small shoots of bushes and saplings.
The leaves are the lungs of the plants,
and if they are kept off a season the
plants die.
When the goats were unloaded and
started down a lane toward the farm
they at once began on the weeds along
the roadside A lot of wild raspberry
bushes have thrived in that lane since
the country was settled. but there was
nothing but a few bare hard canes when
the goats got by. As soon as they were
turned into the 40-acre woods lot they
made for the saplings. and in five min
utes most of them were on their hind
legs going for the leaves.
When a goat comes to a sapling that
he cannot himself break down four or
five others join him and throw their
weights on the trunk and bend it over,
while others climb on the branches.

standard Mrs Fiske may be expected
to play long annual engagements in
New York city, but according to pres
ent arrangements she will be seen an
nually in the spring in several other
cities Within short time she has
had several advantageous tenders from

The arrangement that has been en-

carry out long cherished plans for the
regular production of her dramatic
works. It is the purpose, in short, to
make the Manhattan theater under its

scope Will have every aid that an ar

ENGLISH TALENT DYING.
Editor of the North American Review
Finds Young Writers Rare.

New York, May 11.-Colonel George B.
NJ. Harvey editor of the North Amerl-
can Review, returned today from Eur
ope He says the British book trade is
dead.
There simply does not exist in Eng
land today" he said, what American
publishers would consider even a mod
crate demand for either books or period
icals. 1t is well known that one of the
most conspicuous and apparently popu-
lar magazines in London has been in the
market for some months, because its
proprietor has reached the conclusion
that it cannot be published except at a
loss and no purchaser appears. This in
anition may in some degree be charged
to the war now drawing to a close, but
surely not all nor any material percent
age.
IN my judgment it is very largely
due to the fact that England is falling
behind America in the development of
new talent. Some of the older authors
are still rendering the best literary ser
vice and are unapprOachable along in
dividual lines, but the promising young
writer is becoming steadily more rare
One reason for this undoubtedly is that
America holds out far greater induce
mentS."

Steamship Line Agents Predict Pay
ing Business This Season.

New York, May 11.-With few excep-
tions the agents of all transatlantic
steamship lines give it as their opinion
that this seasons travel to Europe from
North America will be unprecedented
as to the number of passengers and the
rates Of transportation. Last week a ship
of one of the leading lines went to sea
filed to her utmost capacity. The min
imum rate charged was $40.
Five years ago this would have been
thought out of the question because of
the arcticlike condition of the weather
in April, the prices demanded for trans
portation and the increased competition
of giant ships.
The Weather class of residents of the
United States, who were debarred from
going abroad last year because of the
fear of encountering the crowds that
went over to see the Paris exposition,
are booked on every eastward bound
ship for the months of June and July.
Many will go earlier, and in this way
avoid the necessity of paying homage at
Newport and other watering places. The
remarkable increase of American for
eign trade furnishes another explana-
ton for the prediction of big steamship
business.
