DAVID HARUM."
William H. Crane In the Title Role.

Charles Frohmen will present William III
Crane, the comedian. aud one of the best
known actors on the American STAGE in the
drdmatiHation Of Edward Noyes Westcott's
extraordinarily successful book "David
Harum,' ut the Academy Of Music, BaItl-
more, next week. Since its production the
comedy has had tremendous vogue. Iu
point of concert success none of the book
made plays Of the past few seasons can ap.
proach it. For sixteen weeks it ran in New
York to the capacity OF the Garrick
Theatre and last week at Washington its
takngs amounted to over Si3 900 90 People
who have sen the comedy are loud in there
praise Of 1t aud it is conf ieutly asserted that
the work will live and be popular for many
years to come.
MIR. Cranes individual hit in the play IL
very marked He makes an ideal Harum
aud hpws the different sides of the old
banker-hors'.t Graders character with rare
skill. He su IS his individuality entirely and
he is Harem in the life
The play is divided into three acts and
there is nothing OF importance in the book
that is not retained in the comedy. All Of
th' scenes are laid ia bonneville. N Y and
the first shows David's bank with Aur t
PoIly's home across the road and the barn in
| thu background. The second act Is laid in
office adjpiuing tho country room of the
| bank and the THRU act is laid in the sitting
room of Aunt Poly's home on Christmas
morning. Everyone who has read the book
| will readily remember the horse trade With
Deacon Perkins. 1t was one of the best
| Things In it. This trade is shown in the
| play, the horse that will stand without
tchin'" being brought into evidence.
| Another capital scene is the one wherein
David tells of his visit to the circus
Mr.. Frohm-n has surrounded Mr.. Crane
with capital company OF character actors
Scenically the settings are very tasteful
AID the production will undoubtedly find as
much favor there as has been lavished upon
it in other cities In which 1t has been seen.

lei with the Pennsylvania nearly the whole
distance from there to Baltimore, and at that
point ara about a mile distant. There ia no

INSPIRED BY JULES VERNE.

Another Of Jules Verne's ideas, which
thirty years ago were considered too
fantastic for serious consideration, Is
now about TO be put to the practical
test. As will be remembered the French
author sent his Captain Memo, Of the
Nautilus, under the ice pack at the
south pole, where the nearly indestruc-
tlble marvel Of submarine boat had
narrow escape. Now, one Mr., kampe,
II is said, is building a boat designed
for a voyage under the ice at the north
pole, and he Is looking for a crew will
ing to man the vessel, which Is under
construction at Wilhelmshaven.
According to particulars furnished
the Vienna Geographical society the
boat win be ellipsoid In form, with
major axis Of seventy feet. a breadth
Of twenty-sx feet aud displacement
OF 500 tons the boat win hold sufficient
air to last FIVE persons fifteen hours, the
carbonic acid gas being removed by
combination with caustic soda. She
will have both horizontal and vertical
screws, the latter for raising and de-
pressing the vessel. The motive pow
er will be petroleum. OF which 1850 tons
will be carried. This amount Is calcu-
lated to be more than five times what is
necessary for trip from spitzbergen to
the pole and back.
1t goes without saying that such a
voyage, under the Ice, would be under
taken with numerous risks, many OF
which cannot even be foreseen. But II
the boat is ever built aud equipped for
that enterprise. Mr.. kampe viii re-
ceive more applications for places on
board the craft, than any captain ever
had before him. The difficulty will be
in keeping adventurers away, and not
In obtaining a sufficient number. When
Stanley advertised for couple OF fol-
lowers through the dark continent, he
soon had to withdraw his advertise
ment. lest It should start general
movement for the depopulation Of Eu-
rope, 80 numerous were the applica-
tons sent in. The love Of adventure Is
