AMONG THE PLAYERS

Preparations for the much advertised
rendering of Betsy Ross" announced
for the evening of April l6 at the
Chestnut Street Opera House go on
pace. and there is no doubt that the
premiere will be marked by extraOrdl-
nary smoothness and finish During the
past week the engagement OF several
additional clever people for the company
has been announced Among these is
Sarah Stevens a much loved Old ac-
tress who appeared with Laura Keene
in the famous original cast An Amer
lean Cousin Felix Haney, comedian
long Identified with THE Little Ty-
coon. Alice Fisher. who has starred
In The White Heather" and who this
season has been appearing in I'm
leavensd Bread; Mabel Strickland. the
ingenue OF The IICosier Doctor. and
Scott Cooper, OF the Byceum Theatre
Company also have been signed for inn
pcutant roles I'm the production on
which are placed the immediate hopes
Of William A. Brady and Joseph Girls
mer. The persons previously secured
for Betsy Ross" are Phoebe Davies
Joseph Holland and Louise Galloway;
the entire list indicating a nucleus OF
such excellence as to insure practl-
cally perfect performance OF Betsy
Ross The play itself, written by
Henry A. DuSouchet, is said to con-
tam unusual naturalness occasionally
worked TO climaxes less theatrical than
dramatic. The character studies with
out which the action even of q Dumas
or D'Ennery is stale fiat and un-
profitable are declared TO have r5-
ceived the closest attention both of
Mr.. DulSOuchet and Of Mr. Gilsmer,
whose ability in infnslng individual
ity at rehearsals was so admirably and
adequately shown in the case of Way
Down East. Scenery and costumes
elaborate in deatil have been turned
out by the foremost artists and cos
tuners of the day. Altogether there Is
every prospect that the occasion of the
first night. now so little removed, will
prove the production worthy OF the
long run IT is expected to have in Phil
adelphia.

PAYMENT OF TAKES SLOW.
The Present plan Objectionable to
Property Holders

The present week completes the time
for the payment of the November Install
ment of taxes, before the interest PEN
atty is added to the bills One week from
today penalty of one per cent will be
required ON all tax bills not then set
tied. and an additional penalty of one
per cent a month will be added as long
as they remain unpaid
This year the payment of taxes in No
vember has been the smallest on rec
ord. H. H. Darneille. the Assessor. said
yesterday that it is now perfectly appar-
ent that the people of the District want
to pay their taxes in one installment, and
that in May. He said that the majority
of payments have been made this month
under protest, those making them being
very outspOken in their dislike of the
present law. Mr.. Darneille thinks that
when the committees of Congress see
the figures showing the returns this year
they will be quite willing to report a
law providing for the collection of taxes
in one installment in the month of May.
1t will be recalled that Two years ago
Congress suspended the November pay
ment of taxes to enable the Assessor to
inaUgurate a new system of keeping ac-
counts. Last year, accordingly, the realty
taxes were PAID IN May. Inc law enacted
two years ago, however was only tenn
porary in its provisions and this year
there was a return to the original sys-
TEN.
Many seemed to oe under the impression
that the natter was left optional with
the taxpayer but such is not the ruling
made by the Commissioners after being
advised by their attorney. But the slow
collections this month seem to indicate
that the majority of property holders
prefer TO wait until May and pay the
penalty on the half tax from November
to May.
Such being the case. the Assessor is of
the opinion that the objection to the
payment in one installment has practic-
ally vanished. Practice does not confirm
the view Of the sticklers for the present
plan, and those best informed relative
to the plan are looking for legislation
which will authorize the collection of the
years taxes in the month of May.

M'GoVERN HARD AT WORK.
The Little Champion Shows Up in
Excellent Form.

NEW YORK, Nov 24.-Terry McGovern,
who is matched TO box Young Corbett in
Hartford, next Thursday afternoon, put
in a hard days work today. The little
champion proved to the satisfaction of
his admirers that he is as good as ever.
McGovern is training at JohlsOn's road
house, 177th Street and Jerome Avenue,
where he has prepared for most of his
important fistic engagements.
Owing to the bad condition of the roads
McGoyern did most of his training indoors
today. Arising at Z o'clock. and break
fasting, he skipped the rope punched the
bag. used the dumbbells, and Indian clubs.
Then he had a rundown and dinner
rest followed until o'clock. when
McGovern's real work began. He first
took on Tim Kearns, the lightweight
pugilist. for three rounds. Then Charlie
Kelley followed for another three rounds.
After an intermission of five minutes,
Kearns and McGovern WrestIed.
In the boxing bouts, McGovern was af-
tor Kelley and Kearns as though he were
in a real contest His arms moved like
piston rods, and his blows had plenty of
steam behind them.
McGOveTn's strength was put 20 a gen.
uine test when he wrcstled Kearns Is a
strong young fellow. and recognized as
fine wrestler The champion showed
surprising skill. He squirmed out of dif-
iCulJ holds, and toss d Kearns about the
mat with a vengeance. The efforts made
NcGoyern puff, but he recovered after a
brief rest.
Speculation on the outcome is already
brisk. McGOvern's hackers are laying
to l on him, and it is probable this will
be the price at the ringside.

arrangement could not be wholly salts
factory, and after consultation with the
Civil Service Commissioners. about a year
ago, the matter of the examination OF ap-
plicants for positions on the force was
turned over to them.
Present System Effective.
The system now in operation. Major
Sylvester said, is both simple and effec-
tive. He said the applicants. as they put
in an appearance, are sent to the sur
geons. and are there examined the sue
cessful ones being certified by the sur
geons in a report sent to headquarters.
The men are then instructed to prepare
for the civil service examination. which
takes place once in about sixty days. or
as often as there are from sixty to eighty
applicants to be examined. They go to
the civil service building, and take their
examination in the same manner as per-
sons applying for positions under the Uni
ted States Government The successful
ones, those passing 20 per cent on the
basis of 100 are certified to the District
Commissioner in charge Of the Police De-
partIIent, and their names form the eligi-
bic list from which to choose appointees.
The Commissioners reserve the right to
make enquiry relative to the good char
acter of any of the eligbles before ap-
pointing them
Major Sylvester stated that the last ex-
animation took place in August. when
eighty-six applicants attended the civil
service examination OF these eleven were
certified as passing and six of these have
already been appointed on the force.
Some such plan as this the Commission
ers hope to see established before long
for all the District appointments.

Analysis of Mrs. Bonine by n Jail
Official

ida Lola Henry Bonine is the most re-
markaDte character. male or female. 1
have ever seen in prison.
Her conduct invites the most search
ing analysis; ber demeanor defies a solu-
ton"
This from a man who has spent forty
of his slxty-hye years guarding and study
ing criminals. II was hard to associate
him with his duties as he sat in his we'll
furnished library and talked with Times
reporter last night A man Of high In
telligence. well read. ard surrounded by
comparative luxury, he discussed the af-
fair OF the Kenmore with the air of a
critic dissecting novel. He reached over
TO one OF his shelves and picked out a
work on criminology-one Of Caesar Lon-
broso's.
This man" said the Jail official
would have exhausted his great knoy,l-
edge to lay bare this woman's soul. Would
she bafie him? Indeed she would. Never
was there man or woman who ever came
here charged with murder who did not at
some time display some emotion. II only
for brief moment. they felt the rack Of
conscience, the poison OF remorse.
Not she Since last May I've watched
her; every day studied her for a passing
siRn Of weakness, or even regret over the
killing Of Ayres She is always cool col
lected, as II every nerve was dead and
she could not feel
No; 1t would be injustice to her 10 sav
that she is Invariably on guard. Thai ia
not her attitude. She is supremely in
different TO the matter that makes the
city hurry through its breakfast to read
the accounts OF her trial She appears
as If her imprisonment is a business proc
ess to which she is a subordinated indi-
vidual, not a principal.
You know her conduct in the court

room, as if she was least curious Of
the many there. There is no re-
taxation when the Jail doors cloister
her from the worlds eyes. She does not
even sigh with relief, as so many ! han
die here do.
"One man. a strong brute, used to al
most faint when he reached the jail from
the court where he was being tried Tor
murder. And all night long he'd wres-
tie with remorse and insomnia.
Does Mrs. Bonine sleep? She sleeps
like child. Dig up all the synonyms for
wonderful in the English language, and
you will have described Mrs. Bonine.
Then again. there is nothing hard about
the woman She is softly effeminate in
all the actions which mark effeminacy. l,
Of course. speak Of her manner at the
jail. All women seem to hate her, and
they declare she acts brazenly in the court
room.
IT'S not boldness. It's indifference.
tell you. the woman has no concern over
the killinr of Ayres. She ignores it as
an episode: forgets it as an incident.
How different woman was poor Mary
Harris from the type of intelligence as
represented by Mrs. Bonine. Miss Harris
killed, some thirty years ago, a Treasury
clerk named Burroughs. He had Tilted
Miss Harris and forgetting that very use
ful maxim that 'tis well to be off with
the old love before you are on with the
new married another woman.
Miss Harris lay in wait for him, and
one day she shot him in the back as he
was leaving his office.
Miss Harris suffering in Jail would
have moved her most implacable enemy.
All day and all night she cried to God to
forgive her, and Burroughs face was ever
before her Mind you. there was never
the slightest smirch on her honor. Old
Judge Joseph Bradley defended her. Sc
cured an acquittal, and then married her.
DO I think Mrs. Bonine is acting
part? If she is, that long line of act
resses beginning with Phedre and ending
with Bernhardt have been mere autOmat-
ic mines compared to her.
she eats well. sleeps better. and never
complains. She came here weighing nine
ty-two pounds and now touches the scale
al loo. She sees her husband and chill
dren every day. as well as her lawyers.
The latter have spent an enormous
amount of time with her and certainly
from that should be familiar with every
phase OF the case.
In conclusion, what is my theory of
the mystery? Another woman"
