Special TO the Register.
DALLAS, w. Va, January 1e.-The
story of. the killing of a mad dog near
huntsville, Washington county, Pa, as
published in the Register recently is cor
rect in every particular. except that sew
eral incidents Of the story were not
given, as the additional information was
not obtainable at the time. Since then
it has been learned that the dog in
question visited a number OF farm houses
and bit a number of other dogs, but as
Yet there are no more symptoms of
rabies. Miller, the owner of the dog that
was killed. and who was bitten. Is re-
covering from the wound received, and
hopes are entertained for his final res
toration TO health. Since the publishing
of the killing of the dog quite a number
OF circulars have been sent to residents
Of this neighborhood from medical in
stutions. advertising sure cure for

should be done with dogs and other AMI
mails affected with this dread disease.
The whole community is aroused and a
carful eye kept on all animals which
may act strangely, and a number Of

by w. A. TTemaynn, author of "A Sc

of "a Free Lance IS laid in North Ger

play opens the princedom OF wolfsberg

fried Won Bergman, acting as regent
for his cousin. the Pineess Hilda. who
is not yet of age. The Chancellor has
son, Oscar, whom he wishes to marry

The Princess Hilda, however, has be- ).

and death of the young revolutionary
martyr, who faced death as a spy with
the immortal words on his lips: 81

stage craft, sententious to the point of
pantomine in the last act and replete
with powerful dramatic qualities. The
title role will be played by Mr.. How

emma, whence she returned to a little
English country town, where her child
was born. This, SO far as is shown In
the play, is the only blot upon Mrs.
Danes character. She apparently
leads an exemplary life and eventually
meets and falls desperately and genu-
inely in love with Lionel Carteret, the
adopted son of Sir Daniel Carteret, an
eminent judge.
Sir Daniel in his early days had been
very much in love with the mother or
Lionel-in fact, an elopement had been
planned, and the illness of the boy
alone prevented the woman from carry
ing out her part of the programme. Sir
Daniel then returned to London, met
the woman, and they agreed that their
love was hopeless and they should
strive to forget it. That Sir Daniel
never does forget it is made manifest
by the fact that when the woman dies
he adopts her son Lionel, the boy who
later falls in love with Mrs. Dane.
Sir Daniel, when he learns of the in
fatuation of the boy for woman great
ly his senior, is grieved and endeaVors
to dissuade him from his purpose to
marry her. But the youngster thinks
he is very much in love and will not
listen; in fact, he succeeds in convlnc-
ing Sir Daniel that the scandalous' stor-
les told of Mrs. Dane were prompted
by malice. Sir Daniel takes charge OF
affairs and prepares the fact to be
used in libel suit which is designed to
have the effect of publicity clearing
Mrs. Danes character. In his cold, log
ical and incisive way he examines the
woman for the purpose of bringing out
everything which can in any way re-
dound to her credit. Mrs. Dane, how
ever, is of course merely acting part,
and under the lawyers ruthless, though
kindly intended, examination she
makes one or two slips which to his
practiced mind Indicate that she is an
adventures. He tei S her so, and she
confesses. Lionel, after a good deal of
struggle, finally agrees to give her up,
and the play ends.
Mr. Henry Arthur Jones plays have
probably enjoyed IS great vogue as
those of any living dramatist among
persons who do not go too deeply into
the niceties of construction and proba-
bility. Most of them. it is true, are
theatric rather than dramatic, but new
ertheless they please, for he is one of
the best playwrights, if not one of the
best dramatic authors, in the world. 1t
is therefore all the more surprising
that, with the numerous works he has
turned out, Mr.. Jones has never writ
ten a good last act. In The Dancing
Girl the last act was the blot which
marred the beautiful picture which had
gone before In should have been left
off entirely. The same is true OF many
others of the Jones plays; and it is
particularly true of Mrs. Danes De-

This was Mr. Charles Richman's
first appearance as member of the
Empire Theater Stock Company. He
succeeds Mr.. William Fayersham,
whose illness made his temporary re-
tirement necessary and whose project
ed starring tour for next season will
make his return to the company impos-
sible. Comparisons in this connection
are inevitable and, without going too
deeply into them, | am inclined to
think that Mr.. Richman will be found
a very pleasant substitute for Mr.. Fa-
versham. Indeed, to put it bluntly,
think he is very much better actor,
and certainly much more an artist.

performance which l thought not
